p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

An ethos of continuous improvement underpins the excellent management of the nursery. Leaders, managers and staff reflect on their work systematically and make changes to enhance children's learning and care. Staff evaluate activities conscientiously and managers monitor children's progress robustly. They take timely action to address children's learning needs in order to ensure they make rapid progress. Thorough performance management is in place to ensure staff enhance their skills to support children. For example, they attend training and disseminate new knowledge so that all staff implement successful strategies to promote children's language skills. Parents enthuse about the 'brilliant' staff and the 'excellent facilities'. They are highly satisfied that children 'come on in leaps and bounds'. Staff work extremely well with other professionals to meet children's specific care and learning needs. The arrangements for safeguarding

are effective. All staff thoroughly understand their responsibilities to protect children and know exactly what action to take if they have concerns about a child.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff promote children's learning diligently. Their calm, reassuring manner ensures children in the pre-school room develop essential skills to work with others in order to complete projects. Staff affirm children's ideas with lots of praise and encouragement so children enjoy activities immensely. Babies practise skills repeatedly as they mount steps on low-level frames and learn to maintain their balance when they come down the slides. Staff demonstrate how to tickle soft materials and repeat this so that babies eagerly observe and get more involved in play. Staff capture the imagination of toddlers exceptionally well. They bring stories to life with lots of action. Staff rhythmically raise and lower the tone of their voices, which keeps children engrossed. They then join in by repeating positional words to help children consolidate their understanding.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are cared for in a highly welcoming environment. They develop an astute awareness of differences and learn to appreciate what is special about others. All children, including babies, develop high levels of confidence because staff nurture their self- awareness sensitively. For example, children choose to join or leave activities as they wish. A buddy system ensures each child who is preparing to move to another room is paired up with a friend. This helps them to form strong relationships as they adapt to changes. The manager has plans to ensure this changeover period is pleasurable in every respect by reorganising mealtimes and she intends to review the impact of these changes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All groups of children make outstanding progress from their starting points. They are well prepared for the next stage in their learning at nursery and for school. Children who have special educational needs or disability increase in their abilities remarkably. Pre-school children achieve high levels of competence as independent learners. They are highly accomplished in early mathematics and literacy. All children are highly motivated to learn, which enables them to thrive.
