The provision is outstanding

Children thrive in this exceptionally nurturing and stimulating setting. They keenly participate in the high-quality activities staff plan for them. Children are highly motivated, eager to explore and they develop a real thirst for learning. Staff are clear about what they want the children to learn and they provide wonderful opportunities to support their development. As a result, children are immensely proud of what they know and can do. For example, they confidently complete puzzles and are beginning to write words. Babies settle quickly and develop strong attachments to the staff, who are respectful and extremely attentive to their needs. Staff constantly interact with children with genuine affection. Children's behaviour is exemplary and they learn to use excellent manners. They have high levels of respect for one another as they happily take turns and share with their friends. Staff have very high expectations for all children, including those with special

n The manager of the setting is highly ambitious about providing quality care and education for all children. She ensures her staff regularly reflect on their practice and, as a result, teaching is highly effective. n Children make excellent progress in their language development. They speak with confidence and join in with stories and songs with enthusiasm. Staff read to children in a way that excites them. Older children are keen to learn to read and write and take part in activities, which effectively support them to do so. n Children have ample opportunities to develop their physical skills. Babies pull themselves to standing and use tools to fill and empty containers or mix play dough. Older children flourish as they climb and balance on suitable equipment and take part in fun dance routines.

Staff adapt activities to meet individual needs and, as a result, all children benefit from meaningful learning across all areas of the early years curriculum. n Children have age-appropriate opportunities to learn about people and communities other than their own. For instance, they learn about how living in a city differs to how they live in their own rural community, and also learn about the different homes people live in. The setting promotes equality and children are supported to understand what makes them unique. n The setting establishes excellent partnerships with parents. Parents report that they are highly delighted with the inspirational childcare and education the setting provides. Staff regularly consult with parents to ensure that babies have consistent routines. n The setting has highly effective partnerships with other agencies and the local

schools. Children with SEND benefit from the highly skilled strategies that staff use to support them. Staff are clear about the skills and abilities children need to prepare them for school. They consult with teachers and help children understand what school will be like. For example, children share white board rubbers, replicating what will be expected when they move to Reception class. n Leaders of the setting care deeply about the children and the staff. Staff report high levels of well-being and feel very well supported. They are encouraged to share their views and ideas. As a result, the setting is continually improving to ensure the very best outcomes for children.
