Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The manager has lead the setting to make exceptionally effective improvements since the last inspection. For example, she has focused on providing continuous professional support and training for staff to enable them to provide high-quality learning experiences for children. The manager has high expectations of the staff, who are extremely dedicated and enthusiastic, and of the service they provide. There is an ongoing commitment from the manager and staff to continue developing and improving the nursery. For example, all staff accurately evaluate their practice, and the views of staff, parents and children are listened to and reflected on. Safeguarding is effective. All staff have an expert understanding of their individual responsibilities to protect children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The staff interact extremely well with the children and plan fascinating activities based on their current interests. For example, the children had been talking about going on holiday and travelling on airplanes. In response, staff created an airport and introduced vehicles and play figures for children to explore. This fully captured children's imaginations and was further extended to many other areas of the room as children made and decorated their own airplanes to fly outdoors. Staff skilfully involve themselves in children's play to pose challenges to help them learn. They encourage children to explore using their senses. For example, younger children have tremendous fun as they play with a wide variety of messy play resources, including spaghetti. An abundance of information keeps parents and other carers extremely well informed about their children's development. Parents receive high levels of support to continue children's learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are incredibly confident and independent. They explore the setting, engaging in a wide range of activities and choosing what they would like to do. Children learn about the importance of healthy lifestyles. For example, to promote healthy eating, they explore different fruits, helping to prepare them to make smoothies for snacks. Children enjoy daily outings and have lots of opportunities to learn about the world around them. For example they visit a local Italian restaurant to make pizzas. The staff plan to continue developing links with the local community to provide more similarly exciting activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make exceptional progress. They are excellent communicators and they engage well with others. Children show excellent levels of confidence and motivation. For example, older children help with register time and are keen to talk about their 'Wow moments' from home. Children are extremely well prepared for their next stage in learning and for school.
