Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The quality of teaching is consistently very high, and some is inspirational. Staff are extremely responsive to babies' individual needs. They are incredibly nurturing and plan an excellent range of sensory activities to develop children's learning. Toddlers show excellent levels of intrigue as they participate in a singing session with visual aids. Staff skilfully support them to develop their listening skills and express their own ideas. Older children benefit from highly enriching experiences. For example, they love using interesting props, which capture their interest and provoke their thinking skills when storytelling. They also show confidence in using lots of mathematical and descriptive language, for example, when searching for insects in a bug hotel. Children's thirst for learning is exceptional. Staff maintain comprehensive assessments of children's progress and have excellent knowledge of how to challenge their learning. All children make

extremely strong progress and are very well prepared for their next stage of learning, including school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

There is a fully embedded and successful settling-in process in place and staff make excellent use of learning about children's routines and preferences. Children settle very quickly, and become motivated and independent learners. Staff place great emphasis on supporting children and parents to understand about making healthy lifestyle choices. For example, children learn through visual displays about what foods help to keep their teeth healthy. There are extensive opportunities for children to play outdoors. This supports them to be active and develop their physical skills. Staff have impressive knowledge of how to support children's emotional development and overall well-being. Children have extremely positive views of themselves and show confidence in trying new experiences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children receive outstanding levels of nurturing, support and teaching. They are extremely eager to learn and consistently show excellent levels of confidence and involvement in their learning. Children have a clear awareness about what makes them unique. All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language, make high rates of progress from their starting points.
