Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

A strong focus on the acquisition of language skills means that children are confident communicators, who are keen to share their thoughts and ideas. Staff promote purposeful interactions with toddlers as they wash the dolls. This helps children maintain the highest levels of concentration as they eagerly explore making bubbles and filling and pouring using different containers. Babies delight in the interactive sensory experiences available that encourage their investigative skills. For example, they develop their fine motor skills as they pick up spoons and stir mixtures or scoop sand. Pre-school children make great progress in developing their early literacy and mathematical skills. As staff share stories children confidently and enthusiastically join in with remembered phrases and answer questions from staff about what might happen next in the story.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Familiar staff are close by to offer plenty of cuddles and reassurance if needed. Staff have high expectations of what every child can achieve and are excellent role models. They offer children lots of praise, promoting their feelings of self-worth and their emotional well-being. Regular fresh air and exercise, and healthy eating are consistently promoted as part of helping children learn about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Events, such as charity work, help children gain an excellent understanding of the needs of others and learn more about the people and community where they live.
