Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a confident and highly robust understanding of child protection issues. They know what to do should they have concerns about a child. Additional funding is used highly effectively and this has an extremely positive impact on the excellent progress children are making. Rigorous observations of staff practice help leaders to monitor and support staff to continuously improve the quality of teaching. Regular and purposeful supervision of staff helps to ensure that the excellent staff team is extremely well supported to develop and deliver outstanding practice. Professional development opportunities are very carefully planned according to staff's individual needs and priorities of the nursery. The managers are passionate about continuously improving. For example, they have identified further ways to enthuse and stimulate children's natural curiosity and explorative skills in the outdoor areas.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Observation, planning and assessment systems are exceptionally rigorous and staff plan activities to challenge and extend children's learning. There is an extremely sharp focus on encouraging children's communication and language skills. For example, older children are excited to share photographs from home when they were babies. They confidently and proudly talk about their families and how they have changed as they have grown older. Staff actively listen and encourage children to reflect and share their views. Staff are extremely skilled at using children's interests to extend learning. For example, staff take pictures in the nursery and as children show an interest, allow children to use the cameras themselves. This also supports children's skills in using technology. Younger children enjoy sensory experiences. They explore water and show curiosity, looking to see where the water has gone as it passes through holes in a sieve. They place their hands underneath

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children play together cooperatively and their behaviour is exemplary. They are highly motivated, eager to join in and enthusiastic in their play. Children's emotional well-being is promoted extremely well. They relish the friendships with their peers and the strong bonds and attachments they have with staff. Children are confident and self-assured, and this has an extremely positive impact on their enthusiasm for learning. Children are learning about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. They carry out stringent hygiene procedures, have continual access to fresh air and are extremely physically active. They learn to keep themselves safe, for example, they enjoy visits from the police and practice road safety.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are articulate, confident and eager to learn. They have inspirational support across all areas of learning. Children are making substantial and sustained progress from their starting points. Children relish participating in activities. They eagerly contribute their own opinions and talk about their experiences and ideas. They are extremely well prepared for their next stages in learning and in acquiring the skills they need for school.
