This provision is outstanding

Staff regularly check children's progress very carefully and use children's interests to provide challenging play and learning opportunities that excite and motivate them to learn.  Children settle swiftly and form exceptionally strong bonds with staff and with other children. Staff are exceptionally good examples of how to treat others and they skilfully teach children to respect each other. Children's behaviour is excellent.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Children's safety is a very high priority. Leaders and staff are highly confident in their roles and responsibilities. This ensures that children's safety is prioritised and that staff follow the policies and procedures thoroughly. Highly developed ways of checking the quality of teaching and children's progress ensure that children's achievements are typically outstanding. This, together with thorough analysis of information, means accurate identification and meticulous planning for the needs of different groups of children. The manager uses additional funding extremely effectively to help children to thrive. Staff undertake additional training to further their knowledge and skills, and they implement improvements to maintain high-quality provision. Partnerships with parents are extremely effective. They speak highly of the nursery, stating that staff are caring and that their children are safe and happy. There is an excellent two-way flow

of information with parents, so children fully benefit from shared support.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

All children, including those who are learning English as an additional language, develop excellent communication and social skills, as staff skilfully plan a wide range of activities to support them. For example, children have special time in small groups, where they learn to cooperate, take turns and use sentences to describe what they see. Children benefit from free access to outdoor play. For example, babies enjoy painting while outside, toddlers adore role play in the 'mud kitchen', and pre-schoolers make discoveries while digging. However, some outdoor areas could be extended even further, to help children use their imagination more fully.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide children and parents with a very welcoming, stimulating and friendly environment. Settling-in arrangements are based on children's individual needs. The key- person works very closely with parents and children during times of change to support each child's emotional well-being. Staff place a high priority on promoting children's health. They adhere to meticulous cleaning and hygiene routines. Children enjoy nutritious meals and snacks. Staff give children a wide range of experiences that promote their understanding of how we are all different and of those living in the wider world. Children share their home language with others and feel pride for themselves.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are self-motivated and independent. They make excellent progress, given what they know when they start. Children are highly confident communicators, and learn their early number, writing and reading skills extremely well.
