Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff are vigilant about children's safety and welfare. Staff demonstrate an excellent understanding of their role and responsibilities to keep children safe from harm. Systems for professional development are well embedded and sharply focused on improving staff's practice and knowledge. Staff benefit from regular supervision sessions and a wealth of training opportunities are accessed to enhance their already excellent knowledge. The manager fully recognises the importance of continually enhancing staff's professional development to maintain the high-quality provision and she is keen to continue this further. Self- evaluation is precise and focuses on all aspects of the provision. The manager fully involves all stakeholders, such as parents, in identifying even more innovative ways to continually enhance the quality of the provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are very well qualified and the quality of teaching throughout the nursery is inspiring. Staff interact with children extremely well to skilfully promote their learning and development. They have a comprehensive knowledge of each child and successfully use children's interests to provide fascinating learning opportunities. Babies relish in the abundance of attention that staff provide. Staff play peek a boo with different materials and babies respond positively by repeatedly copying the actions. Older children are highly engaged as they help staff to prepare snack. Exceptional questioning by staff engages them to learn about halves and quarters, as they slice the fruit. This helps children to be challenged further to build on their knowledge of mathematics.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery. The manager and staff have carefully considered how to create an environment where children receive the optimum learning opportunities both indoors and outdoors. Babies and young children respond extremely well to the nurturing manner of staff. They explore the nursery with confidence, having the reassurance of knowing their key person is close by. Older children use the outdoors exceptionally well to enhance their physical development. They engage in role play with their friends, washing and drying cars so that they are clean for their friends to use. Staff are excellent role models and everybody is treated with the greatest respect. Staff work extremely closely with teachers in the local schools to ensure that transitions are smooth.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make rapid progress in all areas of their learning, including those who have special educational needs or disability. It is evident that staff training is clearly having an impact on children's progress. For example, staff have attended training on phonics, which has significantly helped children to make exceptional progress in communication and language. They are skilful communicators and critical thinkers, showing an excellent 'can do' attitude. Children's behaviour in the nursery is impeccable. They develop excellent awareness, respect and tolerance for others. Staff work exceptionally hard to support children for the next stage in their learning.
