who attend. This is outstanding

The quality of teaching is outstanding. The skilled staff team have an excellent understanding of the learning and development requirements. They gain as much information as possible from parents when children first start so that they can establish children's capabilities and starting points. Children constantly learn to think for themselves and demonstrate excellent skills of imagination. Older children create their own boats from the extensive range of natural resources, while younger children excitedly explore and investigate boxes. Staff foster children's communication and language skills impressively. Children learn about mathematical concepts exceptionally well. They develop counting skills as they blast off their rockets, compare, and contrast differences in size as they excitedly dig for worms. Staff use various strategies, such as using visual aids, puppets and props to encourage children to learn literacy skills from a very young age.

The environment is challenging and stimulating with resources that reflect the individual learning needs and interests of all children. Staff consistently listen to children and treat them as individuals. Children learn about people's similarities and differences and enthusiastically greet each other in their home language. They settle quickly and develop a strong sense of belonging. Children learn an understanding of the world with wonderful opportunities to explore their local community. Staff provide children with excellent opportunities to develop their physical skills through outdoor play. Children learn to take risks and climb over and under large apparatus. Staff consistently promote independence and self-esteem through everyday activities and routines. This prepares children exceptionally well for their move to school.
