Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is exceptional. Staff have high expectations of children and an outstanding knowledge of children's interests, and how to incorporate them into their learning. They get to know children well through regular observations and accurate assessments of what they can do. They use this information exceedingly well, to plan activities based around their learning needs. The environment in all areas is extremely well presented and is equipped with a rich range of interesting and inviting resources. Staff demonstrate excellent questioning skills to stimulate children's critical thinking and support their acquisition of language. Staff provide children with a wide range of sensory experiences. For example, babies enjoy exploring baskets containing a range of different objects and materials, toddlers enjoy exploring their sensory garden and older children enjoy exploring textures outdoors.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children build extremely strong bonds with staff and with one another. They are cared for exceptionally well and their behaviour is excellent. Staff encourage children to be independent as they make choices about the activities they participate in and become engrossed in their play. Staff nurture children greatly to develop confidence and self- esteem. Children's health and well-being are given high priority and they learn to adopt healthy lifestyles and how to keep themselves safe. For example, children enjoy nutritious meals, implement good hygiene practices and have access to plenty of fresh air and exercise. Children learn to respect one another and value people's different backgrounds. Children's individuality and diversity is embedded in the nursery's practice. Children learn about a variety of cultures and festivals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those who have special educational needs or disability, those with English as an additional language and those in receipt of additional funding, make outstanding progress from their starting points. In all aspects, children are highly motivated and eager to learn. They are active, confident and enthusiastic learners, who enjoy solving problems and use their knowledge in a wide range of different situations. They are prepared well for their future learning and develop the skills they need in readiness for school.
