The provision is outstanding

Children are offered an inspiring range of activities that quickly capture their interests and help them develop a positive attitude to their learning.

All children are exceptionally happy and well settled. Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff encourage children to talk about their feelings.

21 April 2023 n Staff maximise every opportunity to develop children's mathematics skills and make their learning thoroughly enjoyable. For example, children are thrilled as they accurately match, draw around numbers with cars and count in sequence. They estimate how many more blocks they need to build their tower the same height as the member of staff. In addition, they conduct 'funky fingers' activities, such as exploring which nuts fit with which bolts. n Children are highly motivated and happy learners, who cooperate with others superbly. For example, they invite their friends to play, make dens, sit on cushions and pull blankets over their knees. Children select books together and become engrossed in their self-chosen learning. They take turns to turn pages and make animal sounds as they read the book together. n Staff promote children's understanding of healthy living, through eating well and risk taking in the innovative outside area.

meals and snacks. They develop excellent levels of independence and learn how to tend to their self-care needs from an early age. n Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff work with parents to support children to make excellent progress and achieve their full potential. Communication between the setting and parents is highly effective. Parents feel well informed about their child's time in the setting and how to support their learning and development at home. Parents are extremely complimentary of the nursery. n Staff encourage younger children to experiment with making marks on different surfaces. Children are curious and investigate as they gleefully use their hands and big brushes to paint on huge sheets of paper, relishing the feel of paint and the marks they make. This develops the muscles they will need later to be able to write. Children join in with their favourite songs animatedly. They giggle with
