This provision is outstanding

 Children make excellent progress because of the high quality of teaching. Children are consistently mesmerised, excited and motivated by the learning opportunities on offer.  Children are extremely independent. They are free to explore, make discoveries and take carefully managed risks. These opportunities mean children develop skills that prepare them well for school.  Overall, staff are extremely skilled at using opportunities to extend children's learning; however, they do not always use every chance available to help children record their ideas and develop their understanding of writing.  Management and staff plan precisely to promote each child's learning and to track their development. Highly effective assessment of progress maintains this process, and all members of staff contribute.  Staff share information effectively with parents, enabling them to continue with relevant and effective learning experiences with children at home. This helps children

who attend. This is outstanding

The quality of teaching is of a consistently high standard. Staff work effectively to provide excellent teaching and care for children. Management and staff extend children's understanding; this helps them make exceptional progress from their starting points. Children express their ideas and make representations. For example, children decide to build a bug house at the allotment. They select and combine a variety of materials. Staff challenge children and build on their previous learning. For example, staff respond to children's experiences at the allotment. They include children's chosen materials to the nursery mud kitchen in the afternoon. As a result, children continue to make progress throughout the day. Management and staff make fantastic use of the neighbouring community. Children benefit from a range of planned experiences that enhance their understanding and broaden their horizons.

outstanding

Children are highly engaged in their learning. They confidently make decisions and direct their play. This means children experience a tremendous sense of well-being. They benefit from an inspired and very well-resourced learning environment. This creates a sense of wonder and delight. Children make discoveries and continually experience new things. Their efforts are celebrated. Learning experiences are captivating, and consequently children's behaviour is well developed for their age. Children learn outdoors, first-hand, from the world around them. They enjoy lots of fresh air and exercise. A very effective key person system means that all children make strong emotional attachments. They thrive in an environment that promotes their happiness.

provision is outstanding

Management and staff fully understand their responsibility to protect children. They understand the procedures to follow in the event a concern is raised about the safety of a child or the conduct of an adult. Staff have a robust understanding of child protection issues. Staff and management have built excellent relationships with other local providers and with parents. This gives children the best possible support to prepare for their future. Staff practice is scrutinised and training needs identified through a robust appraisal and supervisions process. For example, staff are filmed so that they can reflect on their work and make improvements. Positive interventions improve practice and have provided children with a well-qualified and experienced team. Management and staff demonstrate an excellent ability to take inspiration from children's play. This enables them to evaluate learning and move the setting forward accordingly. This has a keen focus on children with

additional needs and helps all children make exceptional progress. The nursery boasts a positive and ambitious culture that gives children a fantastic start to their education.
