They share their extremely high expectations with the staff who in turn, have high expectations of children and their learning. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff, including apprentices, have an exceptional knowledge of safeguarding and are all clear on nursery and local policies and procedures. This is complimented by sharply focused and robust policies and procedures. Self-evaluation and ongoing reflection is thorough.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff expertly provide exciting opportunities for children to learn. Kitchen utensils and coloured cotton wool balls quickly become an ice cream parlour, where children discuss colour, number and texture. Staff skilfully and effortlessly adapt activities to suit individual needs, interests and learning styles. Children bake Challah bread for family celebrations in the evening. They secure knowledge about their religion and ask probing questions of staff to secure their understanding. Other religions and backgrounds are explored and investigated by celebrating the heritage of the staff. Children demonstrate excellent communication skills and critical-thinking skills which are supported by the skilful staff naturally weaving questions into conversations. Children expertly tend to their allotment, watering and weeding the planting area in anticipation of the harvest they will get. Children's learning is further enhanced by robust observations, assessment and tracking.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

All children are happy and confident learners. Younger children quickly build strong relationships with their key person. This supports their growing confidence and their emotional well-being is promoted exceptionally well, as they bond with familiar adults who know them extremely well. This is further supported by the babies' enjoyment of participating in water and bubble play with their key persons. Children keep themselves safe and remind their peers about safety tips. They remind each other to hold the railings when coming downstairs, and support each other to put on sun cream while talking about the harmful sun. Children behave exceptionally well, they take turns, share and understand rules. They are caring and considerate of each other and are aware of the consequences of their actions on others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children are making rapid progress in their learning from their starting points. This includes children who have special educational needs or disability. Children are highly motivated and eager to explore, investigate and enquire. They are exceptionally well prepared for school or the next stage in their learning.
