p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The well-qualified and experienced management team is highly effective in improving the nursery. It closely checks children's progress and actively uses the views of staff, parents and children to provide high standards of education and care. The management team makes excellent use of routines to identify and target areas to improve. Staff training and supervision greatly improve outcomes for children. For example, following training, staff developed children's imagination and literacy skills brilliantly. Children made up their own stories and acted them out in the home-made theatre. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are highly trained to recognise and report any signs that may indicate a cause for concern.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are highly motivated and confident learners. Staff inspire children during activities to extend their skills. For example, children thoroughly enjoy taking on the responsibility of being 'learning detectives'. They check the learning environment and the equipment on offer using a prepared tick list and report back any findings to the room leader. Other children share their ideas, and the staff plan using them when possible. Children's own interests are provided for superbly. The wide range of resources and activities enthuses, engages and motivates children to learn. Staff place an extremely sharp focus on enabling children to develop their vocabulary and communication skills. They expertly encourage children to learn new words and are excellent examples for them. Children understand that print carries meaning and are keen to learn about mathematical ideas. For example, children delight as they try to balance objects on to large home-made scales.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely independent. They cut their own fruit, serve their own meals and are enabled by the exceptional resources to independently make their own cupcakes and modelling materials. Children are exceptionally well supported to learn new skills; for example, staff fully enable children to climb the steps of the slide safely and develop a sense of achievement when they manage the task independently. Staff praise the children highly for their achievements. Displays generally showcase children's work well. However, just occasionally, staff miss opportunities to help extend children's sense of pride in their work to help boost their self-esteem.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children relish attending this stimulating nursery and make excellent progress. The setting has a wonderful ethos, which provides children with a homely and friendly child-centred environment. Children gain early reading, writing and mathematical skills brilliantly and are extremely well prepared for their next stages in learning and for school.
