who attend. This is outstanding

The quality of teaching is excellent. Staff are skilled at recognising children's interests and provide stimulating opportunities to foster their enjoyment of learning. For example, they observe children playing with cars and provide a ramp and number grid to extend their learning about number and different slopes. Staff develop children's imaginations extremely well as they join in the role-play. As a result, children remain constantly focused and engaged as they experiment and play for prolonged and uninterrupted periods of time. Staff make accurate observations and assessments that inform highly focused planning to meet children's next steps in their learning. As a result, children have opportunities to follow their interests and continually extend their learning. Children are, therefore, well prepared for moving to the next age group or starting school. Staff work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure all children's learning needs are

Staff cater well for children's interests and needs. Enthusiastic staff constantly engage and talk with children. As a result, behaviour is extremely good; children play well together and are highly engaged in purposeful play. Children get plenty of fresh air and exercise as they have supervised access to a highly stimulating outdoor area where they are able to join in a range of exciting activities, such as mixing and pouring in the mud kitchen. Children's emotional well-being is given the utmost priority by a caring staff team. Staff develop nurturing relationships with the children and, as a result, children are happy and settled. Staff ensure that parents are fully involved in their children's learning through providing regular information about routines and progress. Staff are excellent role models, which helps children learn about good manners, taking turns, sharing and good behaviour.

provision is outstanding

The nursery benefits from strong motivational leadership. The nursery's self-evaluation is accurate. Areas for development are clear and the staff have a real desire for further improvement. Safeguarding procedures are well embedded and staff are exceptionally well informed about how to keep children safe. The manager recognises the impact of well- qualified and well-trained staff on the outcomes for children and staff are encouraged and supported to develop their skills. There are extremely thorough procedures for accidents and medication administration and all staff are paediatric first-aid trained. The strong partnerships between staff and parents enable children to settle easily and to make the best possible start. The safe, stimulating and supportive environment and the exceptionally enthusiastic, welcoming staff enable children to make excellent progress.
