Staff use appropriately challenging questions to provoke thought and extend children's vocabulary. Younger children actively enjoy exploring a range of materials while learning about life cycles. Older children use a wide range of resources to investigate their interest in growing vegetables. Staff meticulously plan innovative activities and provide awe- inspiring resources, provoking children's imaginative play and creativity. For example, children explore fresh ingredients and a range of natural materials while making potions. Staff use a variety of motivating strategies to support the early language development of all children, creating a culture that is fully inclusive.

Children understand how to behave appropriately. They discuss how they must share the toys with other children.

Children practise dances from different countries and recall recent celebrations of the Queen's birthday, proudly sharing their creations. Staff effectively support children's understanding of being healthy and the physical effects of exercise. They discuss the comparisons between different exercises and encourage children to describe how they feel.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

They are encouraged at their own pace and positively challenged. Children are extremely imaginative and communicate with each other exceptionally well, for instance, children discuss the differences between what baby sharks eat and what babies eat.
