providing an inclusive environment for all children. Staff encourage children to value and respect each other's differences and celebrate each other's achievements.  Partnerships with parents, and a wide range of outside professionals, are exceptionally good.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The nursery owner's drive to improve achievement for all children is evident across all areas of the provision. For example, staff have high aspirations for children which are underpinned by effective supervision, professional development and teamwork. Leaders place the highest priority on staff using up-to-date, well-informed policies, procedures and daily risk assessments to help keep children safe. Safeguarding is effective. Experienced leaders provide high quality guidance and direction in safeguarding and child protection, and in teaching and raising outcomes for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is exceptional. The highly experienced qualified teacher provides inspirational learning experiences for children and raises staff observations, expectations and skills across an already well-qualified and capable team. Staff assessments of children's progress are accurate and provide the basis for planning diverse and thought-provoking opportunities for children's play and learning. For example, as children enjoy a humorous story about animals and fruits found in Africa, they also begin to understand that not all children drink clean water from a tap. Staff have recognised that a better use of technology would further enhance children's explorations of the world around them and add to successful preparations for school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide excellent support for families, and their keen focus on nurturing children's personal, social and emotional development underpins progress in all other areas of children's learning. Children play and explore happily and with confidence. Staff gently introduce babies to new activities in the comfort of their own rooms and alongside some of the older children's activities. They sensitively encourage children to value and respect each other. Staff create superb outdoor experiences for children to strengthen their muscles and practise precision in handling skills. For example, children crawl through tunnels, balance over bridges, climb, construct and create obstacle courses in their large meadow.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children thoroughly enjoy learning. They eagerly join in activities and relish using the excellent range of resources. Children receive an excellent grounding in early literacy and mathematics. For example, they listen carefully to stories and each other as they think more deeply about the content. They recognise and use letters and sounds in different contexts in their play and explore patterns in nature. Children work cooperatively together and are confident to express their own ideas imaginatively through, for instance, using different craft and natural materials. Children are sociable, kind, courteous and well prepared for school.
