Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The management team is made up of strong leaders who ensure that all staff fully understand their responsibilities with regard to concerns about children in their care. Robust recruitment and selection procedures and ongoing checking of staff's suitability ensures that children are cared for by suitable people. Highly effective monitoring by managers and room leaders ensures that all aspects of the provision are high quality. Immediate action is taken to address areas for further improvement. For example, managers have recently thoroughly researched and invested in new technology devices to further extend children's learning. This initiative has yet to be embedded in practice. Staff training and learning opportunities are excellent. This includes training awareness courses on domestic violence and fire safety. Parents share extremely strong positive views about the provision. They describe the quality of the care

and education of their children as brilliant. They especially appreciate and are excited to receive, reports on their children's development and achievements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide consistently high standards of teaching to all age groups of children. Children are making superb progress. Frequent, detailed observations of the children's learning are undertaken and accurate assessments are made about what they need to do next. There is a high emphasis upon supporting children's language and communication skills. Staff take all opportunities to introduce children to fun, less familiar vocabulary. For example, during water play activities they learn words, such as splish, splash and splosh. Staff show a real interest in what the children have to say. Children have excellent opportunities to compare the size and differences of objects, such as boats, bugs and insects. Staff are highly skilful in telling stories and capturing the children's interests. They creatively make stories come alive by using a range of voices and tones.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's emotional security is given high priority. Extremely warm relationships are shared between the staff and children in their care. Children's behaviour throughout the nursery is excellent. Staff take every opportunity to remind children what is expected of them. Staff praise the children with great enthusiasm for a job well done, regardless of how big or small their achievements may be. This praise significantly contributes to children's growing self-esteem and confidence. Staff sensitively support and offer advice to parents to help them manage their children's behaviour at home. Children's health is superbly promoted, their nutritional needs are continually met.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are making extremely strong progress in all areas of their development. They are highly motivated, successful learners who are keen to engage and get involved in all the activities on offer. Children develop outstanding skills for future learning and in readiness for the move on to school. Children's skills in communicating with adults are extremely high.
