Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide an exceptional range of high-quality learning experiences for children, both indoors and outdoors. During play, staff demonstrate their excellent teaching skills through role modelling, guiding and explaining. Activities and routines are skilfully adapted to ensure that children get the most from every session. Babies are provided with plenty of space to practise their physical skills. Older children have tremendous fun joining in with action songs. Toddlers enthusiastically explore pasta and ice, confidently describing it as sticky and cold. Observations and assessments of children's learning are precise and enable staff to specifically target their high-quality teaching. There is an extremely sharp focus on helping children to acquire communication and language skills and on promoting their physical, personal, social and emotional development. One of the ways staff do this is by exploiting opportunities during routines to introduce new vocabulary and written

Children's physical and emotional well-being is supported exceptionally well. Children's welfare is central to everything staff do. They use highly effective strategies to promote children's independence, confidence and self-esteem.
