The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is outstanding

 Staff constantly talk to parents and gain an excellent understanding of their children's care and learning needs. This enables staff to complete meticulous learning assessments and completely support children. However, the organisation of snack times results in some children just waiting rather than engaging in activities.  Management and staff consistently monitor children's progress extremely well. They share their achievements and discuss any concerns with parents. Therefore, they work together to help children make outstanding progress from their starting points.  Management and staff have an extensive understanding of child protection issues. The procedure for disclosing concerns about children's safety is fully embedded in their practices. This helps ensure children are safe.  Management and staff promote children's well-being exceptionally well. They provide limitless opportunities to support children's physical and good health. Children benefit

who attend. This is outstanding

The quality of teaching is outstanding. Staff provide an abundant range of resources both indoors and outside. This motivates the enthusiastic children as they explore a highly stimulating learning environment. They routinely make play choices that reflect their interests. Children are exceptionally independent and confident as they investigate the natural environment and use their imaginations in different play situations. The qualified and skilled staff completely understand how children learn and continue to develop them further. They effectively provide support when needed and ask thought-provoking questions to the children. Consequently, children develop the skills and attitudes they need for school. For example, staff encouraged children to talk about a story using their imaginations. Staff supported them to take turns and think about what could happen next. They promoted children's communication and language development extremely well as

outstanding

Staff skilfully engage with parents to meet children's needs through the key-person system. As a result, children form exceptionally secure emotional bonds with a familiar adult. Staff complete meticulous safety checks and risk assessments. This creates an extremely safe, secure and welcoming environment for children. Children learn how to resolve conflicts and respond particularly well to praise. They quickly learn to share, take turns and work well together. As a result, children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff are highly effective as they teach children about healthy practices. Children learn how to manage their own hygiene and personal care needs extremely well.

p.3

provision is outstanding

The provider has an exceptional understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage requirements and has meticulously addressed all previous recommendations. Staff consistently engage together to address any improvement needs in the quality of teaching. They make excellent use of opportunities for professional development and supervision sessions. Management and staff reflect on the nursery and seek ways to improve children's experiences. The management consistently encourages staff to improve on their practice through opportunities for further training. For example, staff recently attended training that improved their interactions with children during mealtimes. Management has an extensive awareness of children's progress and seeks appropriate support from professionals to promote all children's development. They continually engage with staff, children and parents to evaluate the effectiveness of the nursery.
