Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Children's health and welfare are significantly enhanced by the implementation of clear and precise policies and procedures. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff understand their responsibility to protect children from harm, including the procedures for reporting any child protection issues. Rigorous self-evaluation routines involving the views of parents, staff and children, help identify any needs for maintaining improvement. Leaders have an excellent understanding of the teaching programme, and how to apply it, to meet the individual needs of all of the children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Practitioners are highly skilled at enabling the children to learn. They expertly expand and develop activities according to children's interests. For example, children used the outdoor growing area during an unexpected downpour. They are expertly guided by the staff to investigate, such as looking for insects under various logs. They also enjoy collecting water in buckets to measure which one is the fullest. Staff plan highly effective activities that meet the needs and interests of the children. The extremely sharp focus on developing children's language and literacy skills gives children an excellent foundation for future learning. Exceptional planning systems ensure activities across all areas of learning are based on the children's needs to maintain their excellent progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The highly stimulating environment and wide range of activities ensure that children are highly motivated and very eager to join in. They have high levels of curiosity, imagination and concentration. Staff sensitively support children to sort out their differences and find a solution to their problems. Staff know the children very well and are highly successful in helping them to form secure emotional attachments. Displays throughout the nursery showcase children's work and reflect their involvement in activities. However, just occasionally, staff miss opportunities to help extend children's sense of pride and self- esteem in their work. Children benefit from an excellent range of sensory equipment. Children are awe inspired as they watch bubbles go up and down in a tube and look amazed into an unusual mirror. Children have many opportunities to learn about cultures and each other's differences through recognising various celebrations, and having an

excellent range of multicultural materials and resources to see and use.
