who attend. This is outstanding

Staff demonstrate an excellent understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. The activities they provide in each room and outside are engaging, exciting and imaginative. Staff know children extremely well, monitor their progress diligently and use their current interests to promote every area of their learning and development. Excellent record keeping, assessment and written updates enable staff to act very promptly to address any gaps they identify in children's development. Staff supervise and meet the needs of each child exceptionally well, helping every child reach their highest level of progress. Staff inspire the older children with exemplary projects based on favourite books and letters to children in other countries. Staff place an excellent focus on mathematics overall. However, they use slightly fewer resources to enhance children's mathematical skills in some areas of the nursery, such as outdoors, than in others.

outstanding

Experienced staff are adept at settling younger children as they join the nursery. They have a huge respect for different parenting styles and the challenges of busy family lives. This has led staff to create helpful resources and make a wealth of information available to parents. For example, book bags include stories, props and prompts for parents to extend children's learning at home. Parents also express their appreciation for bags of resources that help them support key moments in children's lives, such as establishing sleep routines and managing bereavement. Staff constantly reflect on the quality of their teaching and care, and the impact they have on children's development. Training updates include a focus on how to teach children to be resilient to life's challenges and to develop positive relationships with others. Consequently, children develop excellent skills in negotiating and solving problems. They are confident and very well equipped emotionally

provision is outstanding

The director of the nursery is a qualified, experienced and skilled practitioner. She also demonstrates an exceptional capacity to find and implement new ideas to raise the quality of learning experiences for the children in her care. The highly qualified leadership team has a thorough understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. The manager uses regular supervision to ensure that staff deployment is highly effective and that all staff follow daily procedures and risk assessments to keep children safe. The use of self-evaluation is excellent. Children, parents, staff and outside specialists all contribute to the process. This results in many improvements that directly benefit the children. Staff value and where possible respond to suggestions from parents. For example, they support children's moves to different rooms and find further ways to share the excellent practice that helps children flourish on a daily basis.
