Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an excellent awareness of the procedures and policies in place to protect children and maintain their well-being. They give children's safety the utmost priority. For example, staff complete risk assessment processes throughout the day to identify and minimise hazards to the areas children use. The management team and staff have an excellent understanding of the current procedures to follow should they have concerns about children's welfare. Self-evaluation is comprehensive and includes the views of parents, children, staff and other professionals. This helps maintain their high-quality standards and continuous improvements. There are plans to develop communication with parents even further to help maintain the highly effective partnership working.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are extremely observant and sensitive to children's needs and learning. For example, they adapt their planning extremely well to help ensure they challenge children and build on their eagerness to learn. Activities focus precisely on children's interests and help them make excellent progress from their starting points. Staff very skilfully challenge children's thinking and understanding. For example, they encourage children to solve problems and predict their own ideas about activities. Staff recently had training on early communication with younger children. This helps children to respond extremely well to small tasks. All children in the nursery enjoy listening to stories. This helps them develop superb early literacy skills and an appreciation of books.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The manager and staff make excellent use of the environment and use precise evaluation to cater for the needs of the children. For example, they create a superb indoor 'outdoor' area for children to have more space to move around in and be active. This supports their physical development extremely well. Staff use daily routines highly effectively to teach children about safety and risks. For example, children do their own risk assessment. All children from the youngest to the oldest enjoy hygiene procedures, such as brushing their teeth. This helps them to understand the importance of personal care.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make outstanding progress from their starting points. Younger children develop excellent independence skills. For example, they are able to identify and access their own water cup. Older children are highly curious and use their superb knowledge of the environment to independently learn and access resources. This provides them with skills necessary when moving on to the next step in learning and school.
