This provision is outstanding

 Staff develop very strong relationships with children. They give them lots of praise and reassurance that helps them develop very high confidence and self-worth. Children are very eager to try new things and their behaviour is outstanding.  Staff have high expectations for children and offer extremely challenging opportunities to reach their potential. Children make excellent progress in relation to their starting points. They are very well prepared for the next stages in their learning and school.  The management team and staff use excellent information from parents and their observations to plan children's learning very effectively. They continuously involve parents and work with them to ensure children flourish.  Staff conduct very rigorous checks of the premises and resources to ensure children remain exceptionally safe and secure.  Children learn about the world around them through highly successful activities and

experiences. For example, there are many visitors to the nursery who teach children about their roles in the community, and different cultures and traditions.  Very detailed input from staff, parents, children and other professionals helps the management team to focus on improvements that give children excellent opportunities to learn and succeed, such as enabling children who are learning English as an additional language to quickly settle and rapidly communicate with others.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The management team and staff meticulously track and monitor children's progress to immediately identify any gaps in their learning and seek support. The management team monitors and supports staff very well. This improves practice and enables staff to attend extensive training. This results in improved and highly targeted planning for individual children. Staff share comprehensive information with each other and other professionals to provide children with focused support that meets their individual needs most effectively. Excellent partnerships with parents help staff support the children exceptionally well. Safeguarding is effective. Everyone is very clear about their role to protect children from harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff have an excellent knowledge of how children learn and develop. They provide highly innovative and exciting experiences that inspire learning and a thirst for knowledge. For example, staff use imaginative questioning and discussions to skilfully develop children's language and understanding. Children listened and responded attentively to stories about wild animals and considered whether they might be dangerous. Staff support children very well to help them be imaginative and creative thinkers. For example, children thoroughly enjoyed playing in the water area and discussed if they could invent boats that travel on roads. Children experimented with throwing balls up in the air and talked about them falling down because gravity pulls them to earth.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely happy and very well settled, benefiting from outstanding staff support and parental involvement. Staff are exceptionally warm, caring and sensitive to children's needs. They are excellent role models and provide very clear and consistent boundaries to teach children right from wrong. Children show great respect for the views of others. They tidy resources very well and encourage their friends to do the same. Children learn the importance of a healthy lifestyle. For example, they enjoy lots of physical exercise and fresh air, as well as nutritious meals. However, not all staff make the most of all opportunities to fully promote children's understanding of healthy foods.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children are very independent. Older children recognise the sounds letters make and build on their early reading and writing skills. They communicate exceptionally well using words, such as 'stethoscope' and 'temperature' as they role play. Children count, add numbers and learn to solve problems. They use excellent mathematical language to describe the features of different shapes. Children who are learning English as an additional language rapidly gain confidence, enabling their language skills to flourish.
