This provision is outstanding

 The owner values her staff immensely and recognises their individual qualities. She actively encourages them to continually develop their skills. This has led to a large number of staff becoming highly qualified. Staff share the owner's great enthusiasm and passion. This has had a significant impact on learning outcomes for children.  Parents speak extremely positively about the nursery and about the excellent progress that their children make. Parents receive exceptional support and are wholly engaged and involved in their children's learning in the nursery and at home.  Children are deeply absorbed in learning. Their laughter resonates around the exciting play spaces and the atmosphere is alive with children's excitement. Extra funding is used superbly and activities are sharply tailored to foster children's current fascinations. For instance, children relish dressing up as astronauts in space.

This provision is outstanding

 The ways in which children's progress is monitored, analysed and assessed is very highly effective. Data collected for individual and different groups of children's learning is meticulously scrutinised. This means that any potential gaps in children's development are recognised and addressed with great swiftness.  Children thoroughly enjoy participating in extremely frequent visits into the community. Children learn about using money. For example, they purchase tickets for bus rides, flowers from the florist and fresh fruit from the supermarket.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The dedicated owner is highly committed and relentless in her pursuit of excellence. She instils a very successful culture of inspirational practice and maintains a highly driven staff team. Self-evaluation is of a very high standard and includes the views of everyone involved in the nursery. Staff are encouraged to scrutinise still images taken from the nursery's webcam as part of their supervision arrangements. They identify aspects of their practice and the nursery environment that can be improved upon. This helps them to have an excellent understanding of how to keep children safe and secure. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders and staff fully understand the procedures to follow should they have cause for concern about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Leaders and staff constantly review how children use the space available. Positive changes are made to the environment very regularly that help to stimulate and enthuse children. Teaching is consistently of an exceptional quality. Staff provide extremely focused support to all children in the development of their language and communication skills. This includes to those children who speak English as an additional language. For example, staff speak slowly and clearly and use lots of descriptive language. Staff constantly encourage children to think and respond to skilful questions asked. Children of all ages demonstrate consistently high communication skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children settle extremely quickly into this outstanding nursery. Leaders and staff get to know each child incredibly well. Children are very caring and show great kindness to their peers. For example, older children help others to zip up coats. Opportunities to partake in messy play and to be physically active, both indoors and outside, are in abundance. The owner is keen to implement innovative ideas to provide even more excellent opportunities for outdoor experiences for those children who prefer to learn outdoors. Leaders monitor safety procedures very regularly. For example, data collated from minor accidents children have is scrupulously audited to identify and address any risks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are extremely polite and behave impeccably. Older children form letter sounds and read simple words with great enthusiasm. Younger children take turns as they play games with their peers. They practise their excellent running, jumping and racing skills very confidently. Babies join in with actions to favourite songs animatedly. They squeal with delight and applaud their achievements. Children develop high levels of self-care and independence skills from a very early age. All children make outstanding progress from the outset and are exceptionally well prepared for their future learning and school.
