Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The leadership team is exceptionally well organised and effective in their management of the nursery.. Staff ensure a very high quality of care and education for children. Staff training is organised extremely well to have the greatest positive impact on children's outcomes. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are all extremely confident in their child protection knowledge and the procedures to follow if they have any concerns. The leadership team seek the views of staff, parents, and children to inform their rigorous self- evaluation. Parents speak extremely highly of the staff and the positive impact they have on their children and their family life. They provide a range of very useful information when their children start, although leaders recognise this could be more detailed at times, to help inform planning even more.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

There are highly successful systems to monitor children's development. These identify, quickly and accurately, any additional support that children may need. Staff make strenuous efforts to seek any additional help and support for children or their parents. Effective use of additional funding enriches children's learning to high levels. Small groups of staff, for example, focus on children's listening, attention or communication skills to improve any weaker areas. Children are enthusiastic and self-motivated. For example, they make their own modelling materials and engage in their own games. Staff are highly supportive in helping children really enjoy their learning, such as watching the different properties of sand and flour as it falls to the ground.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children enjoy an abundant range of resources and activities that stimulate and challenge their learning and development. Staff have high expectations for children. For example, they take responsibility for deciding how to keep the nursery clean, tidy, and safe. They learn to value their friends, for example, when discussing others' food allergies at snack time. Snacks are nutritious and appealing to children. Parents are encouraged to supply healthy lunches for children, helped by attractive and informative displays. Good health routines are promoted actively, for example, when children clean their teeth and wipe their faces enthusiastically after snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make exceptional progress from their starting points. They enjoy their time at the nursery. They learn to communicate, develop social skills, and become highly independent learners. These skills ensure they have a very confident start when they move on to school.
