Children develop confidence and an enthusiasm to learn. Staff continually challenge and engage children. They skilfully support children's use of language. Staff ask open-ended questions that encourage children's recall and expertly support their thought processes. For example, staff encourage children to rhyme words and sounds and they giggle as they make up rhyming sounds and words. Children show high levels of curiosity, explore their environment and a wealth of natural resources. Babies explore a wide range of textures and are mesmerised by different lighting and sounds. Children confidently communicate in different ways, such as using sign language to communicate their ideas and as they sing.

They develop an excellent awareness of the importance of good hygiene routines and the impact of germs on their bodies. Children delight in being physically active. Babies explore their environment and develop confidence and coordination. Older children learn to climb and take risks in a safe environment, build and construct, building their large-muscle skills. Staff nurture children's all round development superbly with excellent care that supports their individual emotional needs. Staff and parents work harmoniously in partnership to support children through development milestones and to ensure continuity of care.
