The manager continually supports staff's teaching practice exceptionally well and identifies changes to practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are well qualified and highly skilled at asking older children an excellent range of questions to help them lead their own learning and to learn new words. For example, staff talk to children about a recipe. Children show excellent organisational skills and use this to make dough. Staff encourage younger children and babies to develop their learning through messy play activities. For example, children use their hands and feet to explore the texture and colour of foam, paint and water. Children develop an excellent knowledge of diversity and the wider world. Staff give children a range of different foods and talk to them about flags from different countries. Children have a very positive attitude to learning and are keen to tell staff that croissants come from France and that they live in the United Kingdom. Staff use highly effective observation and assessment procedures to enable children to achieve or surpass their expected levels of development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

There is a very warm and welcoming feel to the nursery and staff are highly responsive to children's needs. Staff are exceptionally calm and patient, and children thrive on the individual attention that they receive. Children are extremely confident and show outstanding levels of independence. Outdoor play is a key feature, providing interesting spaces and excellent opportunities for children to develop their physical skills. For example, staff help children to build an assault course to complement children's interests at home. Children learn to share and take turns using the equipment and climb in and out of tyres and hoops. Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff give them lots of praise for their achievements, helping to raise their self-esteem.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly motivated and make excellent progress in their learning from their starting points. Older children use mathematical language in their play. They compare the size of their own and staff's feet. Children thoroughly enjoy exploring floating and sinking, for example, when they use jugs in water.
