There is a wealth of highly stimulating activities planned throughout the day, which cover all aspects of children's learning. Young children delight in discovering technological toys as they excitedly learn how to make their cars move and change direction. Staff provide exceptional opportunities for children to develop their understanding of the world around them. For example, they engage children in lively conversations as they share their local knowledge and experiences. Staff have an excellent knowledge of the early years foundation stage. They combine this knowledge with information about children's interests and progress to plan precisely for their next steps in learning. This helps to secure rapid progress in children's learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff successfully empower children to take responsibility for their behaviour and choices through the consistently positive reinforcement of shared rules and behavioural expectations. For example, young children keenly press sound buttons onto which staff have recorded gentle reminders. Children's acts of kindness or initiative are celebrated and rewarded. Staff skilfully promote children's awareness of healthy food options. Children talk knowledgably about the health benefits of certain food groups, such as the groovy grains and mighty fruit and vegetables. Children thoroughly enjoy the excellent range of opportunities to develop their physical skills. They laugh and giggle as they take part in dance activities, which include exercising their fingers with modelling dough.
