This provision is outstanding

 The quality of teaching across the nursery is outstanding. Staff provide a range of high- quality learning experiences that are well resourced and planned. This includes practical experiences outdoors in the natural environment.  Staff have a warm and loving relationship with all children. Therefore, children show they are confident learners who actively explore the rich learning environment.  Children are extremely well behaved and clearly understand daily routines and expectations. Consequently, children learn to be considerate and polite to their peers, and staff are quick to address any behaviour issues.  Staff ensure children's lunchtime experience is well-planned and organised. Therefore, children are familiar with the routine and thoroughly enjoy sharing this social experience with others.  The managers are highly effective in driving improvement. Staff are skilled and experienced in their role and show they are extremely committed towards

who attend. This is outstanding

Staff promote children's communication and language development exceptionally well. For example, during circle time, children listen attentively to staff as they make extremely good use of hand puppets, to encourage children to promote their speaking and listening skills. Staff promote children's early writing skills particularly well. For example, they encourage children to practise writing their names and familiar letters of the alphabet by using a range of resources, including paint, chalk and colourful stationery. Children confidently use an array of technology-based resources, such as telephones, remote controls and calculators during play. This allows children to make advances in information technology. However, they have less frequent opportunities to use the computer to strengthen their skills. Staff carry out detailed observations of all children and effectively use this information to inform future planning and underpin accurate assessments.

outstanding

The manager implements a highly effective key-person system, which enables all children to be well prepared for their next stage in learning. Children develop strong emotional attachments with staff and this secure relationship helps children develop high levels of self-esteem and confidence. Staff make excellent use of the wide range of resources available outdoors. Children thoroughly enjoy their outdoor experiences and benefit greatly from the free-flow access they have between the indoor and outdoor areas, as it provides daily fresh air and promotes physical exercise. Staff encourage children to become increasingly independent through self-registration and by tidying up after mealtimes. This level of responsibility begins to prepare children well for school.

provision is outstanding

The well-qualified and experienced manager is extremely effective in reviewing her practice and leading a dedicated team to achieve exceptional standards. She ensures all children get the best possible start by individually tailoring their learning. Robust recruitment procedures ensure that suitable staff are appointed and the manager gives continuous professional development the utmost importance. All staff have undergone safeguarding training, which has equipped them with secure knowledge on how to keep children safe. The manager has established successful parent partnerships and keeps them well-informed about their children's developmental progress. She works closely with the local authority and makes very good use of their services, namely the extensive training available. Consequently, staff access further training, such as on behaviour management to develop their skills and improve outcomes for all children.
