Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are extremely attentive to children's needs and expertly engage in their play. Children enthusiastically explore the stimulating environment, using the array of materials to make their own creations. Children show a real excitement and willingness to take part in activities and show off their different skills. For example, they show a strong sense of imagination and creativity as they make interesting pieces of art using clay. They also have tremendous fun making gloopy mixtures as they explore with sand and shaving foam. Children exert lots of energy jumping on the bouncy castle and perfect their accuracy skills playing target practice with soft balls. They display excellent special awareness as they operate the remote-controlled cars and expertly navigate their way around objects and race through their self-made tunnels. Staff skilfully question children to encourage them to share their ideas and engage in conversations. Children are

extremely proud in their achievements and appreciate seeing their work displayed on the walls around the setting.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff care for children exceptionally well and are excellent role models. Children are extremely well behaved and play harmoniously together. They display excellent co- operation skills during group activities, and they show real concern and kindness towards each other. They listen, and respond well, to the consistent praise and encouragement they receive from staff. Staff value and respect children's opinions and ideas. Children have an extremely confident understanding of how to keep themselves safe and are able to manage risks for themselves. There is a really strong emphasis on being active and healthy eating, which staff skilfully reinforce. Children excitedly show staff the healthy food in their lunchboxes, to gain maximum points. Staff successfully support children's awareness of diversity through activities and story sessions to encourage children to embrace differences and value and respect others.
