consulted parents about the development of the outdoor area for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff plan an excellent range of activities and learning opportunities that captures children's interests and inspires their learning. Children successfully learn about the world around them. For example, they learn how to count money as they buy groceries from the shop inside the nursery grounds. Staff have high expectations of what children can learn, they constantly challenge their learning and development. Children develop their imaginative skills as well as their communication and language development. For example, they dance and sing in Hebrew as well as English pretending to be dreidels spinning around as they prepare for the festival of Hanukah.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide remarkable opportunities for children to develop their self-care skills. Children peel their own fruit at snack time and put on their coats and boots ready to play outdoors. Excellent opportunities are provided for children to develop their physical skills, indoors and outdoors. For example, children squeal with delight as they play with the parachute, running and hiding underneath. Staff promote effective risk taking with children. Children learn to take turns and carefully climb in and out of the ball pool making space for each other and understanding how many children can play at any one time. Parents are delighted with the outstanding care and learning opportunities their children are provided. They talk about the wonderful, nurturing and loving environment staff create.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make rapid progress. Children show higher levels of development than expected, listen attentively and participate well following instructions from staff. They are all very confident in social situations, and know and understand to ask for help if needed. Children develop many skills for their future learning, or their eventual move on to school.
