Safeguarding is effective. Staff are extremely knowledgeable about child protection and are secure in their understanding of the procedures to follow in relation to any safeguarding concerns. They are deployed very effectively to ensure children are well supervised during their activities. Systems for planning, observation and assessment are implemented extremely well. This results in children receiving a highly personalised approach to their learning. Staff have rich opportunities for their professional development. The managers recognise the importance of continuing to develop staff's practice to maintain the excellent outcomes for children. Staff work in close partnership with the schools children move on to.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are highly skilled in teaching children and they know their key children exceptionally well. Children thoroughly enjoy high-quality interactions with staff. They are excited to take part in an array of stimulating and challenging activities. For example, during a bear hunt activity, children delight in reciting the story. Staff challenge their physical development skills as children negotiate their way over ramps and across uneven surfaces and balancing beams. Staff have a deep understanding of how children learn and recognise that boys prefer to learn outdoors. For example, staff provide rich opportunities for boys to practise their early writing skills outside and encourage them to retell familiar stories, building on their early reading skills. Staff involve children in highly imaginative experiences. Children excitedly add additional ingredients when making mud pies for dinosaurs to make it, 'Extra delicious'.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children clearly show that they feel safe and have a sense of belonging in the nursery. Babies snuggle with staff for comfort as they need it. They climb onto staff's laps to play musical instruments together. Pre-school children talk confidently about their move to school, dressing up in school uniforms and looking photos of their new teachers. Children's good health and their understanding of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are promoted extremely well. They enjoy an excellent range of nutritional healthy meals and snacks. Children know the routines for wearing hats and sun cream outside in the sun.

Children enjoy making decisions about what they do and sustain high levels of interest. They are highly motivated to play, explore and widen their experiences. Children are confident and show a secure sense of well-being. They are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage in their learning and the eventual move to school.
