Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are highly skilled and sensitive towards meeting children's individual needs. For example, staff gather robust information from parents and prepare specific activities for children who are new to the setting. Every child, including those who are relatively new, show happiness and delight coming into the setting and run to staff to talk to them about their home lives. Staff actively teach and celebrate the Christian faith with children. In addition, they support children to recognise other cultures around the world and have links with a nursery overseas. Children have an excellent understanding of what it means to be healthy. They thoroughly enjoy sharing fruit at the table and staff show them how much sugar is in smoothies and the impact this has on their teeth. Children learn how to keep themselves safe and staff nurture their self-confidence.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

They make exceptional progress in relation to their starting points and children are working in the stages higher than typically expected for their age. Children with SEND are supported to close gaps in their learning. Children have excellent social skills and show high levels of confidence in their own ability.
