The provision is outstanding

n Staff's knowledge of each child's learning needs is phenomenal. They use the information they obtain from high-quality observations of children's play to complete accurate and precise assessments of children's learning. Planning is sharply focused on the individual learning needs and interests of each child. This helps to ensure that all children reach their full potential. n Partnerships with parents are superb. Families praise the wonderful care, support and learning opportunities the staff provide for their children. Staff share information with parents about their child's progress and use information from parents to support children's learning. n Children's behaviour is excellent. They are kind and polite, show consideration towards others and are extraordinarily confident in the natural environment, in the nursery garden and on regular outings to the woods. n Children are consistently highly engaged in activities that inspire them and excite them.

practice. She plans to build on this further to continue to further enhance the excellent provision.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is inspirational and exceptionally consistent throughout the nursery. Staff use expert teaching techniques to guide, explain, and challenge children's thinking skilfully. Their passion and highly enthusiastic approach inspire children to explore, experiment, take part in activities and achieve. For example, staff enable children to expertly handle real tools as they saw, hammer and build models from wood, nails, screws and tape. Staff fully enable children to follow their own lead in learning. For instance, banging pieces of wood together soon becomes an intricate operation as children make model rabbits. Children excitedly discuss which song they want to choose from the interactive whiteboard. Staff use these activities exceptionally well to support children's understanding of early mathematics and literacy. The nursery supports children who learn English as an additional language and those who have special educational needs

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children develop an excellent understanding of how to live a healthy lifestyle. They eat healthy snacks and staff talk to them about how the food they select benefits their health. The introduction of the forest school approach enables children to explore and investigate the natural world and the creatures they find in it. Displays show children wading in streams, finding insects and getting muddy in their wet suits provided by the setting. All children, including babies and toddlers, have a wonderful time in the natural space. Children also have access to a wonderful interactive garden. They learn to safely climb, pedal bicycles and take calculated risks to become highly independent.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make exceptional progress. They develop excellent skills through an extensive range of activities to prepare them extremely well for the next stage in their learning or school. For example, older children spontaneously write their names, and spell out the sounds and the letters they represent. Younger children have immense fun as they chase balls with their friends and play hide-and-seek under the climbing frame.
