This provision is outstanding

 Children's health and safety are of paramount importance to staff. They maintain very safe and secure environments and complete risk assessments with children. This provides valuable practical activities to help children learn about keeping safe.  Staff work very closely with parents and carers to plan each child's learning accurately, and continually review their progress. This helps every child to fulfil their learning potential and make rapid progress.  Staff promote children's behaviour exceptionally well. They are very good role models who promote traditional values. As a result, children show kindness to others, form warm friendships and have loving attachments to staff.  Staff provide a wealth of activities to nurture children's independence and self- confidence. This helps to prepare older children very well for their move to school.  Children show a great sense of pride in their nursery. They are keen to show visitors

their favourite things and help with great enthusiasm when asked.  Management and staff rigorously evaluate the quality of the nursery provision and include the views of parents and children. This results in staff continually reviewing and improving the routines, and providing many new experiences to meet each child's needs.

who attend. This is outstanding

Staff have an in-depth knowledge of each child's developmental level, interests and learning style. They have high expectations of what children can achieve and quickly adapt activities to include and challenge each child individually. For example, at the inspection staff used simple songs to help younger children learn about the letters and sounds. They extended this for older children to identify which of them had the letter in their first and surnames. Staff encouraged younger children to count those present aloud with them. They challenged older children to count groups of children, to find the correct numeral on the wall display and to compare the quantity in each group. Children extended these activities themselves by finding letters and numbers on labels and displays around the playroom and garden. As a result of high quality teaching, children engaged intently in their play.

Staff provide vibrant learning environments in the playroom and garden where they promote all areas of learning. Children move freely between the play areas to explore and to enjoy numerous physical play activities. However, some of the creative tools are not easy for some children to find and reach. Staff respond rapidly to help children find out more about the things that capture their interest, such as the plants and minibeasts they find. Staff instigate lots of discussion to promote children's communication and language skills. As a result, at the inspection, children listened respectfully and allowed quieter children to be heard. Children continually questioned what they did not know and shared their views confidently. This helps to promote children's self-confidence and motivation to learn very effectively. Staff provide a wealth of activities to help children learn about one another's culture, language and beliefs. They include parents who contribute to activities,

such as singing songs and making display labels in other languages.

provision is outstanding

Management monitors children's development rigorously to ensure they make the best possible progress. Management and staff have a very good understanding of their responsibilities to safeguard and protect children from harm. Management uses highly successful supervision sessions to monitor all staff's knowledge and understanding of how children learn. They provide a rolling programme of training, which staff are enthusiastic to contribute to and attend. This helps to ensure all staff have excellent skills to meet children's health and welfare needs. For example, less experienced staff attended training which has helped them to plan and adapt activities to meet each child's needs at a consistently high standard.
