p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Leaders offer superb opportunities for staff to take part in professional development activities and career progression to enhance their skills and knowledge and maintain the outstanding outcomes for children. For example, staff have attended recent training on creatively nurturing children's interest in early literacy, which has had a positive impact on the pre-school children. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders ensure that all staff have a confident understanding of their role and responsibility in protecting children from harm. Staff follow the setting's policies and procedures rigorously to keep children safe, including promptly addressing any minor accidents and/or injuries. Leaders have excellent arrangements in place to monitor the overall progress made by different groups of children and use data successfully to help them plan for continuous improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff plan a vibrant assortment of activities for children of all ages based on their needs and interests. Staff encourage children to use their imagination and they support older children to think through and connect their ideas. For example, staff encourage children when dressing up to think about their characters and storylines and support them to extend their role play further with props. Staff help younger children to explore their bodies and movement. For example, toddlers use the soft play equipment to build structures and negotiate space, climbing on their creations, as they laugh with delight. Staff reflect in detail on children's achievements at nursery and at home, to help each child to reach their full potential in a creative and dynamic way.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff place children's well-being at the centre of everything they do. Children build excellent bonds with staff and feel secure in the nursery. Staff create a welcoming, friendly and nurturing environment where children gain a sense of belonging. Overall, children are highly independent and staff encourage them to take appropriate risks as they try things for themselves. However, on occasion, staff do not maximise on everyday opportunities for toddlers to gain even more self-care skills. Children benefit from learning opportunities inside and outside. Staff teach children about living a healthy lifestyle and the importance of being safe. For example, children go on trips to the woods to learn about using tools and equipment safely, while exploring the natural world.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are confident and excited to lead their own learning. Older children gain an excellent understanding of letters and the sounds they represent; they are becoming skilled early writers and articulate communicators. Younger children display remarkable social awareness. All children make excellent progress in readiness for starting school.
