Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Leaders are inspirational. They offer consistent support and ongoing professional development opportunities to staff. Supervision sessions are detailed and support staff to evaluate their own performance. Leaders work alongside staff and complete regular observations of practice. This helps leaders maintain the first-rate teaching that is in place. Highly effective monitoring systems are in place. Leaders routinely analyse children's progress. This information supports them to quickly identify any gaps in learning and to put a swift programme of support in place, if needed. Safeguarding is effective. Children's safety and well-being are pivotal to staff's approach. Very rigorous systems are in place to monitor children's attendance and ensure their safety. Daily risk assessments are carried out which involves children in identifying hazards within the environment. Work with other professionals is exceptionally strong.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The dedicated staff team provide an exceptionally inclusive and highly stimulating learning environment. Staff use very innovative ways to create home-link opportunities based on children's interests and to offer a continued approach to children's learning. For example, staff create unique stories and prop sacks for children to take home. This has since developed into a library system for parents and children to choose storybooks and share these together. This helps to support children's literacy skills. Children are provided with exceptional opportunities to develop their independence skills. Their ideas and opinions are tremendously well supported. Children are involved in all aspects of planning. Staff and leaders intend to enhance the already excellent outdoor play opportunities for babies and young children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children demonstrate considerable levels of confidence and are extremely motivated to learn. Staff are excellent role models. They encourage children to support each other during activities and provide excellent levels of praise and encouragement. Staff provide superb opportunities to support children to develop an awareness of how to lead a healthy lifestyle. A very wide range of healthy choices is provided during mealtimes. A designated hygiene station is available in all nursery rooms. This helps to promote excellent hygiene practices. Children have fantastic opportunities to learn about their local community and surrounding areas. Settling-in procedures are highly robust. Staff complete home visits and gather detailed information about children before they start. This helps to support staff to accurately identify what children know and can do when they start.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress from their starting points. They are highly confident and demonstrate high levels of perseverance in completing self-chosen tasks. Children are extremely sociable. They have extremely close attachments to staff and make strong relationships with their peers. Children are exceptionally well equipped with the key skills needed for future learning and their eventual move on to school.
