The provision is outstanding

The inspirational leadership team strive for excellence. It has created a truly wonderful environment that is meticulously planned to spark children's interests. Children thrive as there is a high focus on developing children's well-being and creating supportive and caring relationships with staff. Tolerance and acceptance of each other are important to the setting, and children engage in positive play experiences with each other. They demonstrate exemplary behaviour as they confidently access the indoor and outdoor provision.

The provision is outstanding

An ambitious curriculum is rich in learning opportunities for all children and carefully implemented to accelerate children's learning. Seamlessly implemented throughout sessions, children develop their communication skills at an accelerated rate, with sharing stories, singing songs and engaging in rich conversations evident throughout the day. Skilled practitioners increase children's vocabulary and sentence structure through careful input. Children with delays in their learning are supported at the earliest opportunity and benefit from regular and high-quality interventions from a skilled team.

The provision is outstanding

Children learn to be independent and complete tasks for themselves. They are given lots of choices that helps them develop a sense of ownership over their actions and create a sense of autonomy. For example, young children choose pencils from a tub, draw circles on paper and then return the pencil, the correct way up, back to the tub, ready to be used by another child. Notebooks are strategically placed to encourage purposeful mark making, and young children copy older ones as they write inside.

n The staff are exceptionally accomplished at knowing when to provide input and when to stand back and observe. They adapt their interactions to suit the individual developmental level of the child and allow them sufficient time to listen, digest and respond to questions. Children demonstrate excellent listening skills, following instructions and participating in conversations. They engage in a song bag activity, eager to choose the next object from the bag, waiting patiently for their turn and singing enthusiastically. n Children's progress is superb, and through receiving consistent praise and guidance, they are enthusiastic problem solvers. Through engaging in exciting activities, children gain an understanding of size, capacity and volume. Role-play items, such as a large electronic till, help children understand the important role numbers play in society. In addition, children learn about mathematical
