Children are exposed to new language, engage in conversations, ask questions and share their thoughts. n Staff provide an abundance of experiences to support children's physical development. Children practise toppling over on a cushioned mat. This is always available for them to go back to and try again. Children balance along beams indoors developing their stability and use spades to dig in the garden helping to build their strength. They use control to make creations out of dough, such as horses, with all the features of the legs and ears. The wealth of opportunities not only help them to learn new physical skills, but also deepens and reinforces their existing knowledge, meaning they constantly develop in a stimulating environment. n Partnerships with parents are excellent. Parents are an integral part of the nursery. They attend stay and play sessions where they talk about children's

Children thrive and reap the benefits from the collaborative approach, consistent support and shared goals. n Staff provide a very well-planned environment that supports all children to develop in a sequential way. For example, children play with letters in a tray, younger children match the same letters together, some children find the first letter for their name and older children use the letters to make their full name. Children show exceptional confidence in their literacy knowledge and have a solid foundation for future learning. n There is an exceptional educational programme, which helps children to demonstrate high levels of respect for each other.
