Staff have an excellent understanding of how children learn. They make vigorous assessments of children to track the progress of each child. They plan for children's learning precisely using their interests, and clearly identify their next steps in learning. Staff provide a running commentary as children engage in their play.

Managers have an excellent understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. They regularly observe and monitor staff practice and discuss staff performance and professional development at supervision meetings. Recent training about children's early mathematical development has had a positive impact on the quality of teaching and children's mathematical learning. The managers invite staff to evaluate the nursery provision. They identify areas for improvement in their individual rooms and this significantly improves outcomes for children. For example, staff in the baby room use an extensive range of story sacks to encourage developing language and communication. Staff work in very close partnership with other early years settings to promote consistency in teaching through a shared approach. Parents comment that their children flourish at the nursery and the highly motivated staff consistently challenge their children so they make
