Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are offered an inspiring range of activities that quickly captures their interest and helps them to develop a positive attitude to learning. Staff know children extremely well. They make highly effective use of information to plan meticulously for children's individual needs and interests. Very young children are enthralled as they use their fingers to manipulate dough and investigate textures that are soft and rough. They watch with wonder as boxes light up and change colour. The level of concentration at small-group time is exceptional. Young children share their ideas and think out loud as they carefully examine snails they find in the garden. They successfully follow recipes and use their imagination as they pretend to cook and make cups of tea in the outdoor kitchen. Pre- school children thrive and work as a team. They dig and prepare the soil ready to plant tomato plants. They listen attentively and follow instruction as they explore a selection of

vegetables and lead their own learning as they make figures from potatoes, sprouts and carrots.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's health and physical development is promoted exceptionally well. Babies and young children enjoy cuddles from the attentive staff. This helps them to feel happy and settled. Children enjoy highly nutritious meals and snacks that are prepared by the on-site cook. They flourish and thoroughly enjoy time spent outdoors. Staff make sure this environment is equally rich in learning experiences. Children learn about space and measure as they build with sand, and fill and empty containers that are different sizes with infused water. They enthusiastically run, jump and excitedly use ride-on toys.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make rapid progress in their learning and acquire the key skills required in preparation for school. Children are extremely confident, keen and display a 'can do' attitude. They learn key skills in literacy as they practise writing and learn the sounds that letters represent. Children recognise mathematical concepts and have a wealth of opportunities to count, sort and match. Young children are beginning to learn about routines and boundaries. Babies are animated as they join in with action songs.
