Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are active and eager to learn. Staff provide a totally enabling environment where children can explore and broaden their imagination. For instance, children examine an exciting range of fruits, vegetables and everyday objects as they act out scenes they have seen at home. They pretend to make a cup of tea using real tea bags and milk bottles and learn valuable life skills. Staff provide interesting and challenging activities that ignite children's curiosity. For example, they find out how technology can help them investigate a make-believe 'crime scene' and they pretend to be police officers. Children are fascinated by science experiments. For example, they watch in wonder as they pour milk onto sweets and see a rainbow of colours merging together. Staff work exceptionally closely with individual children to ensure they are thoroughly supported to achieve the next step in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Babies and children feel extremely safe and happy in the nurturing environment of the nursery. Staff praise them for the smallest achievement. This helps to boost their confidence and self-esteem and they behave exceptionally well. Staff are playful, loving and kind. They understand children's emotional needs and sensitively support them as they move through the rooms. Children enjoy an excellent variety of healthy and nutritious meals. They participate in an exciting range of physical play activities in the garden. Managers have ambitious plans to continue to develop the outdoor areas of the nursery to provide even more opportunities for children to learn about nature and the natural world. Children learn about the people, places and communities that are different from their own.

p.3
