Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff very skilfully encourage children's progress across all areas of learning. Using their in-depth knowledge of individual children, they challenge children's learning very well. Staff expertly build children's confidence to learn new things. They support very young children's communication skills extremely well. For example, they are highly responsive to babies' gestures and facial expressions, encouraging their attempts to communicate by introducing and repeating a wide vocabulary. In the pre-school room, staff promote children's choice and offer an excellent balance between adult-led and child-initiated activities. In the baby room, staff use their knowledge of children's preferences well to provide activities that children enjoy, encouraging them to explore using their senses. However, they miss some opportunities to let children choose for themselves.

Staff support children's sense of well-being extremely well, providing each child with two key-persons to focus on meeting their needs. Staff very securely promote children's good health. They encourage very good hygiene and daily outdoor play for all children. Staff and parents work together extremely well to share information about home languages and cultures, to help children understand and respect their own and each other's beliefs.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop very strong skills for future learning. Older children recognise their names and label their work. They securely and confidently solve simple mathematical problems and do things for themselves, for example at mealtimes. All children are very enthusiastic learners. Children learn to behave extremely well from a young age. Younger children enjoy excellent opportunities to become mobile, physically active and explore.
