with the excellent service their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff have an excellent understanding of how children learn. They provide a highly rich, stimulating learning environment that has been expertly tailored to children's individual needs and interests. For example, babies and younger children explore with a very exciting variety of textures and materials to extend their creative skills superbly. Older children eagerly explore with technology and learn about size and measurement as they fill containers with sand or mix ingredients to make play dough. Staff are excellent at enhancing children's literacy and communication opportunities. For example, children select their favourite books as staff read them stories and encourage them with careful questioning to respond, learn new words and extend their problem-solving skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

All children settle extremely quickly and build strong relationships with the staff. Children are cared for within designated age-appropriate rooms and are highly confident and independent as they play. For example, younger children independently choose from a wealth of resources which is easily available to them. They learn to play cooperatively together, share and take turns. Children learn highly effective skills around personal hygiene and how to be healthy. They enjoy healthy, nourishing meals and exercise. They have limitless opportunities to explore, investigate and discover the world around them, such as when visiting the park. Staff expertly teach children how to keep themselves safe, such as when crossing the road, and supervise children very skilfully.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make rapid progress in the nursery. Children demonstrate that they feel exceptionally happy and secure. They are truly eager to take part in a broad range of rich learning experiences. Children learn an extensive range of skills which prepares them exceptionally well for their eventual move to school.
