Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff carefully nurture babies and follow their home routines, which helps them to develop close attachments to all staff. The relationships between children and staff are exceptionally warm and positive. Staff are excellent role models and children's behaviour is exceptional. Children cooperate and willingly share their resources with others. Staff use mealtimes very well to encourage independence. For example, younger children are supported to pour drinks and make choices about their healthy snack. Staff very successfully plan frequent opportunities for children to learn about diversity and respect for one another.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language, make excellent progress in their learning. They display good levels of independence and are keen to join in. Children are very confident and lead their own play; for example, they make choices about the resources to use within the role-play area and select from a wide range of cultural artefacts. Children demonstrate a very keen interest in their learning and enjoy trying new experiences. For example, younger children thoroughly enjoy exploring the sensory play experiences they are provided with.
