Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use their expert knowledge of the areas of learning and their deep understanding of how children develop to provide rich and varied play. For example, they provide 'tummy time' for babies and turn the pages in picture books to enthuse babies' interactions further. Babies wave and smile to staff around them showing their enjoyment and engagement in their play. Older children thoroughly enjoy leading their own play and staff make excellent use of the opportunities to strengthen their learning potential. For instance, they use exciting resources that encourage children to explore, think critically and solve problems. Children show high levels of energy and fascination in their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children develop excellent personal, social and emotional skills because staff nurture and praise them at every opportunity. They are happy, settled and show exceptionally high levels of independence and self-confidence as they leave their parents with ease. Children of all ages behave incredibly well because they are highly engaged in purposeful and exciting play. Staff use every opportunity to enhance children's learning at social times. Children learn new vocabulary, numbers and colours as they sit with their friends to enjoy their nutritious meals. They benefit greatly from physical activity and daily fresh air. Staff acknowledge children's home cultures extremely well. Children gain very positive attitudes as they learn about the lives of people who are familiar to them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children develop skills that will enhance their future learning extremely well. They consistently make high rates of progress in relation to their starting points. During 'tummy time', babies push up from their tummy position and straighten their arms. They reach out to grab musical instruments and show how they can look around and follow adults with their eyes. Two-year-old children demonstrate excellent mathematical skills for their age as they accurately count and name their triangular-shaped sandwiches. Children have excellent opportunities to explore and investigate the natural world. They search for bugs and use magnifying glasses to examine them more closely.
