The provision is outstanding

Children thrive in this exceptional nursery which puts them at the centre of all they do. Children arrive excited for their day. Familiar, friendly staff greet and engage excitedly in discussions with children about their day ahead. Staff know all families extremely well. As parents drop off their children, nurturing staff immediately put them at ease. Parents leave, confident that their children are being very well supported while at the nursery. Parents report on the 'wonderful' nursery and how their children love attending. Staff offer open evenings to share the Montessori approach to teaching and how this can be mirrored in the home environment. Parents are very well informed of what their children are learning.

The provision is outstanding

Highly qualified leaders and staff create and implement a broad, ambitious Montessori inspired curriculum that is embedded throughout the nursery. They provide children with consistent opportunities to practice and embed their learning to ensure that they are ready for their next stage of development. As children move through the nursery, staff adapt activities to meet their levels of development and provide challenge. For example, the youngest children develop their muscle dexterity and coordination, in readiness for their early writing skills, when they pour water into different containers. Older children pour rice and lentils into different containers and use additional tools to aid them. Children make excellent progress.

Children have exceptional levels of independence from a young age. n The inspirational managers and staff value and embrace the celebration of all cultures and backgrounds.

They are aware of how to report a concern regarding a colleague's conduct. Managers have a rigorous recruitment process to help ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. They also monitor staff's ongoing suitability through regular supervision meetings. Children are provided with a safe and secure environment.
