Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Management ensures that the staff team has a robust knowledge of child protection issues and the procedures to follow regarding any concerns about a child. Staff receive immense support from the manager, who helps to improve their performance so that they support children's learning extremely well. For example, children now have further opportunities for messy play, which has a highly positive impact on their emerging interests, curiosity and emotional well-being. The manager is keen to embrace professional development even further, to enhance the inspirational teaching skills of all staff. Communication with parents is extremely positive. Staff provide parents with detailed information about children's learning, and they consistently seek the views of children and parents to develop and improve the nursery provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff encourage children's thinking skills exceptionally well and they are highly skilled at supporting very young children to develop their own play. For example, babies excitedly scooped up shaving foam, eager to see their reflections in the mirrors below. Young children showed high levels of concentration as they investigated different resources during water play. For instance, they showed excellent control and concentration as they carefully poured water down both ends of a funnel. Staff support children's language skills extremely well as they engage in highly stimulating activities. For example, they sensitively challenged very young children to learn new words and to sing songs as they enthusiastically washed their play pots and pans, and explored the feel of bubbles.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff nurture children and offer them a warm and highly welcoming environment. Children cuddle up with staff and are extremely confident in their interactions. They develop very close friendships with their peers from a very young age. Staff encourage children's healthy lifestyles extremely well. For example, young children choose their snacks, discover how to use knives safely, and learn about healthy food choices and portion control. Staff consistently praise children's achievements, which boosts their self-esteem highly effectively. Children enjoy celebrating their creative displays and family photographs, which significantly helps them to learn about similarities and differences at a young age. Children behave exceptionally well and respond extremely well to staff.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children consistently demonstrate high levels of independence. For example, they actively make decisions and eagerly choose from an extensive range of imaginative resources. Children learn to solve problems at a very young age. All children quickly develop the essential skills they need, ready for the next stages in their learning.
