highly positively about the provision and the progress their children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children's love of learning excels in this nursery. Practitioners give an excellent emphasis to children's communication skills. This leads to all children becoming very confident speakers. Learning areas are highly organised and encourage children to experiment, investigate and be creative. Practitioners excel in creating small-world play scenarios. These depict children's favourite stories, songs and interests. Babies have excellent opportunities to use their senses and develop their language skills. They enjoy playing with the farm and excitedly make farm animal noises when prompted. Practitioners plan activities around stories children enjoy. They encourage younger children to join in and find the whale and snail in the book. Older children take turns exceptionally well while playing board games.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children benefit from being cared for in a learning environment that is very bright, extremely welcoming and thoughtfully presented. Practitioners provide children with excellent role models because they have a respectful and nurturing approach. Children learn to take turns, share and think about the needs of others. Older children listen carefully to instructions while taking part in their own Olympic Games. They have great fun as they demonstrate their physical skills and confidence. They take part in games, such as the egg and spoon race and sack race, and receive a medal for their achievement.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make outstanding progress and develop very positive attitudes to learning. They are happy and self-assured. They learn about wider society and how to understand and respect different people and communities. Children are very independent and make decisions about their play and learning. They develop very good personal care skills and their behaviour is excellent. Children develop excellent literacy and mathematical skills and are well prepared for their move on to school.
