Inspection activities

 The inspector held a meeting with the operational manager and the managers of the nursery and the after school club.  The inspector spoke to parents and took account of the views expressed through recently completed parent questionnaires.  The inspector spoke to staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector accompanied staff and children during drop off and collection times to the primary school and the school's nursery.  The inspector checked the evidence of staff suitability and qualifications, the provider's policies and procedures and their self-evaluation.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The managers have an excellent understanding of their role in meeting all requirements. Safeguarding is effective. Staff provide vigilant supervision of children. This is particularly evident during drop off and collection times from the nursery and other settings the children attend. Managers monitor children's progress and swiftly provide targeted intervention to ensure all children achieve at least good outcomes. Managers monitor and support staff extremely well. Regular staff supervisions, specialised training and continuing professional development enable staff to develop excellent skills which they use to ensure children are progressing well. Any gaps in children's learning are quickly identified and early interventions ensure that all children make excellent progress in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use their excellent knowledge of individual children to provide engaging opportunities which challenge and extend their learning. Staff model exceptional communication skills. They listen to children with genuine interest and extend language through skilful questioning. Children are highly motivated to participate in the broad range of activities. They have many opportunities to learn about and explore the world around them. However, sometimes the learning environment is not fully extended to enhance children's independent investigative play. Staff plan the environment in response to children's needs, which they identify through regular observations and assessments. Positive partnerships with other settings children attend and parents effectively contribute to providing an accurate picture of children's learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children demonstrate a strong sense of belonging as they move around the setting confidently. They choose when to go outside, putting on their coats, and wash their hands and serve themselves at mealtimes. Children enthusiastically make independent choices. They take turns, learn to share and develop respect for each other and themselves. Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff consistently praise children and have very high expectations of their behaviour, which are reinforced with clear and simple rules. Children have a wonderful time playing outside. They enjoy using the apparatus, where they learn to manage safe risks, develop good physical skills, such as climbing and balancing, and get lots of activity and fresh air. This successfully contributes to their good health and builds their understanding of adopting a healthy lifestyle.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make outstanding progress across all the areas of learning and develop high levels of independence. They take responsibility for age-appropriate tasks during everyday routines. Children are extremely well prepared for their next stage of learning and school.
