The provision is outstanding

Children flourish at this outstanding nursery. Babies demonstrate exceptionally strong and affectionate attachments with staff. They show delight as staff read, sing and respond to their babbling, developing firm foundations for their language development. Children feel secure and demonstrate a strong sense of ownership. Toddlers confidently fetch water from the tap when they want to make 'tea' in their role-play area. Older children have helped to design and equip their room. They speak excitedly about how they will use their new computers to find out information.

The provision is outstanding

Children's behaviour is exemplary. They show high levels of care and respect for others. Toddlers notice when another child joins their group and offer to share their toys. Older children recognise when they have upset their friend by knocking over their tower. They are quick to say sorry and offer help to rebuild it.

The provision is outstanding

Children show high levels of involvement and a sense of wonder in their learning. Older children marvel as they discover how clouds form and create rain. They are excited to demonstrate this by dripping coloured water through shaving foam 'clouds'. They describe what they have learned confidently and enthusiastically. Babies immerse themselves in activities which stimulate their senses and inspire their curiosity. For example, painting which they explore on a large scale using their whole bodies.

shops, bank, library and post office.

The home languages of staff and children are highly valued and spontaneously incorporated into play, such as when counting or singing songs. n Children have excellent awareness of healthy living. They enjoy exceptional opportunities for active and vigorous play. This includes activities such as yoga and tennis which develop useful skills and superb coordination. Many of their daily activities take place outdoors, such as in the woods or local green spaces. This contributes greatly to their health and well-being.
