The manager holds regular meetings with staff to continually review their superb practice and highlight any further training needs. Although, the provider recognises the importance of continuing to provide even further professional development opportunities for staff, to help maintain the outstanding provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are extremely well engaged and excited to learn in the exceptionally well- resourced nursery. Children show exceptional pride in their achievements and are confident to share what they have done well with staff and visitors, such as writing their names and that of their key person. Staff use their excellent knowledge of children to plan highly challenging activities. Staff enthusiastically support children's understanding of the world around them in inspiring ways. Children delight in exploring herb plants in the garden, excitedly investigating their roots, and extend their learning extremely well. Children learn that roots 'suck up water' to feed the plants and they know that the sun helps plants to grow. Older children receive high levels of support in preparation for starting school. Children are extremely confident, for example, they inform visitors that a child was being 'sarcastic' and they know what the word means. They tell staff they have

made an 'apostrophe' and know how to speak French and Spanish, and enjoy telling jokes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff have high expectations of children to be independent and this helps them to swiftly learn to do things for themselves. Children's behaviour is exemplary and they demonstrate high levels of respect for others. Staff give children an abundance of praise and help them to develop confidence. For example, they teach them about how to cross the road and children designed stop signs that they use in the garden as they tell each other to 'stop' and 'go' while they ride bicycles around. Children are extremely physically active and thoroughly enjoy exploring the exceptionally well-equipped outdoor area. They benefit from exciting opportunities for exercise, such as inspiring tennis sessions with a qualified sports teacher and 'wake up, shake up' dance-and-movement sessions.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children communicate and cooperate exceptionally well. They develop valuable skills that prepare them exceptionally well for their next stage in learning and for moving on to school. Children develop expert early literacy skills. They pay excellent attention to detail as they skilfully write their names and confidently know the different letter sounds.
