Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff make very purposeful use of detailed information from parents to identify children's starting points and support future learning. Staff make excellent use of rigorous observations of children's learning to precisely assess their progress They effectively plan activities closely matched to children's interests to ensure they securely reach the next steps in their learning. For example, children learn to compare size and shape when they create giant ice creams in their role play cafe and consider the value of different amounts of coins. Staff strongly promote children's language and communication skills. For example, they ask very well-considered question to encourage children to describe the current buns they make using molds in their sand and water play. They develop children's thinking and reasoning well. Parents are strongly encouraged to build on their children's learning at home. For example, they have regular access to an excellent range

of books and toys to loan from the nursery's library scheme.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children develop a strong awareness of each other and willingness to help. For example, children offer to fasten their friend's shoelaces or take them to the staff for further help. Children are helped to be gentle and thoughtful to each other. They listen carefully to others and learn to play well together. For example, they correctly follow signs and labels to register at the start of the day and explain to staff what they would like to do next and who they would like to play with. Staff make particular good use of songs correctly and rhymes to help children contribute to taking good care of themselves and their environment. For example, children cheerfully join in tidy up and hand washing songs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children learn to speak clearly and share their opinions. Babies make strong progress in developing their physical skills, such as crawling and climbing, and develop a good awareness of each other. Children count accurately and make very good progress in developing their early adding and subtraction skills to 20 and beyond. Children develop imagination and curiosity in their creative play. For example, they explore different ways to create footprint designs with their model dinosaurs.
