sessions and appraisal meetings. They attend inspirational training programmes which have a positive impact on outcomes for children. For example, a communication course has equipped staff with a greater understanding of how to promote children's early speaking skills through innovative role-play opportunities. Students and volunteers are supported astonishingly well and feel valued and respected.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Observation, assessment and planning arrangements are of the highest calibre. Gaps in learning diminish at a rapid rate and interventions are highly successful. Children are extremely capable individuals who apply themselves diligently, persevere and never give up until a task or challenge is complete. Children's laughter fills the air of this excellent nursery and the atmosphere buzzes with their excitement and eagerness to explore. Babies giggle with delight as they explore paint and become fascinated while playing musical instruments. Toddlers delight in identifying metal objects with large magnets and become captivated while playing with small-world dinosaurs. Pre-school children become enthralled while comparing, weighing and measuring different objects. They articulately discuss the properties of three-dimensional shapes and skilfully talk about capacity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Care practices are remarkable. Staff are highly attentive to children's physical, social and emotional well-being. They spend time getting to know children and their families during the settling-in period. Children have an extraordinarily high sense of belonging and are self-confident and self-motivated individuals. They display excellent behaviour and regularly embrace one another with hugs. Staff teach children remarkably well about healthy living and provide them with innovative physical activities. For example, younger children have yoga lessons and older children attend professional swimming activities.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are well-rounded, tolerant and respectful individuals. They are highly skilful mathematicians, articulate communicators, confident readers and eloquent writers.
