Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Extremely robust recruitment, combined with excellent induction procedures for new staff, ensures all adults are suitable and exceptionally well prepared to work with children. The nursery manager swiftly identifies, and acts on, any areas for improvement. Her highly effective supervision and individualised support for staff's professional development has enhanced teaching. For example, staff have gained excellent skills in giving children greater autonomy and an ability to lead their learning. Excellent partnerships with parents, and other professionals, ensure that all those involved with children contribute to their outstanding outcomes. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have an excellent understanding of their responsibility to protect children from harm, including the procedures for reporting any child protection issues.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are highly skilled in enabling children to learn. They expertly engage children in purposeful play that evolves from their natural curiosity and enables them to make links that extend their learning. For example, staff built on children's interest in aeroplanes to develop a 'sky-watch' topic, encouraging children to explore their wider environment and investigate transport sounds. Parents complemented this learning at home to consolidate children's awareness of environmental sounds. Staff develop this skill further with older children to introduce letters of the alphabet and the sounds they represent. Excellent, individualised support develops children's thinking skills and ability to solve problems as they explore a wide range of activities in an innovative and challenging outdoor space.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Key persons support children's self-esteem exceptionally well. They are excellent role- models, particularly in teaching children how to treat others. They provide sensitive, individualised guidance to enable children to negotiate successful solutions to any disagreements that arise. Staff are highly skilled in teaching children to understand and value diversity. For example, family members visit the nursery regularly to share their celebrations, customs and varied cuisine to help children gain an excellent understanding of how their cultures and traditions are similar and different to those of their friends. Children enjoy a varied menu and are encouraged to try new foods. Staff are aware they could further enhance children's understanding of the importance of a healthy diet.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are active, highly motivated, inquisitive learners. Babies and young children are extremely well settled and communicate their needs and interests very confidently. Older children are sociable and highly articulate. They gain early reading, writing and mathematical skills that prepare them exceptionally well for their move to school.
