This provision is outstanding

 Children quickly develop very strong emotional attachments with staff, especially their designated key person. Children's social skills and friendships develop rapidly because of the excellent support provided and the consistently high expectations of staff.  The organisation of the indoor and outdoor areas is excellent. Staff are keenly alert to ensure that every child is included and kept safe. This strongly supports children's well- being.  Partnerships with parents are built on mutual trust and respect. Parents spoken to on the day of the inspection applauded the high standards across the nursery.  Staff make assessments that accurately identify any gaps in children's knowledge and understanding. Well-planned activities ensure gaps are rapidly closed and children make excellent progress.  Self-evaluation is continuous and sharply focused on identifying future improvements. Parents' and children's views are highly valued and actively inform these plans.

This provision is outstanding

 Staff actively promote healthy lifestyles. Children enjoy a very good range of nutritious snacks and meals. The creatively designed outdoor environments allow children time to develop their superb physical skills and make their own risk assessments.  There are highly effective arrangements for children as they move between rooms and to new settings in order to help them settle quickly.  There are extremely successful learning partnerships with parents right from the start. Parents are kept very well informed about their children's progress over time. Staff are eager to know about children's learning at home to ensure their judgements are fully robust. This helps to inform their outstanding planning for children's next steps.  Staff training and supervision have resulted in consistently high standards of teaching across the nursery. Staff's knowledge, commitment and enthusiasm are exemplary.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The designated leaders for safeguarding are exceptionally skilled. There is a culture of vigilance across the nursery and staff work tirelessly to ensure children are kept safe. Staff work in close partnerships with parents to ensure children attend regularly. They go the extra mile to support families. Before anyone is permitted to work in the nursery they undergo rigorous employment checks to ensure their suitability. Senior leaders have an absolute belief in the potential of staff to achieve the very best for children. They are rigorous in monitoring children's progress from their different starting points. They are totally committed to finding different ways of using and enhancing resources to ensure children reach their potential.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The well-qualified staff capture children's interests through exciting activities and their timely and highly effective interactions. As a result, children are very enthusiastic and purposeful as they play and learn. All staff know the children's individual next steps and make sure they set the right challenges so children progress. Babies show great delight as they explore a bag filled with familiar characters from favourite stories. In the room for children aged two years they are finding out what happens when they place different objects at the top of a slope. They are fascinated when the objects roll at different speeds and repeat the activity several times. Pre-school children eagerly collect leaves from outside to create autumn collages. Every room is a buzz of purposeful activity and this continues when children play and learn outside. Staff are now considering how to further enhance children's awareness of the wider world.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff demonstrate consistently high standards in promoting children's personal development and welfare. All staff work to ensure children learn how to keep themselves safe and develop their respect and understanding of each other. The behaviour of children is outstanding. Children develop skills to manage their own behaviour and resolve conflicts. Staff have consistently high expectations and provide sensitive support for children to make positive choices. Children are encouraged to learn how to take risks and explore in a safe but not restricting environment. They are keen and highly competent learners.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent and sustained progress from their starting points, this includes children who are eligible for extra funding. Even the youngest children are extremely confident and independent as they play and explore. Levels of emotional and physical well-being are consistently high. Children acquire the key skills and attitudes that ensure readiness for the next steps in their learning, including as they prepare to move on to school. There are very well-established partnerships with other professionals to ensure the best outcomes for all children.
