Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The provider follows highly comprehensive recruitment procedures to ensure all staff are suitable to work with children. The manager and staff have an excellent understanding of their role and responsibility to safeguard children. They all implement highly comprehensive safeguarding policies and safe working practices exceptionally well to support children's health, safety and well-being. They meet ratio requirements and supervise children at all times, deploying themselves extremely effectively. The management team places a high focus on staff's coaching and their professional development. For example, leaders are very supportive of staff. They encourage them to reach their full potential and take on additional responsibilities within the nursery to develop and progress. The manager ensures all required records and information are available to parents and knows what must be notified to Ofsted.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff have an excellent awareness of how children learn and develop. They plan exceptional learning experiences to tailor support for each child based on their interests and individual needs. For example, younger children are helped to extend their vocabulary while playing within 'the beach' set up for them based on their holiday experiences. Staff use exceptional teaching strategies and challenge children to think for themselves. Children's love of learning thrives in the stimulating environment, inside and outside. For example, babies have opportunities to develop all their senses and explore the texture and smell of real plants, such as basil, thyme or mint; while older children experiment and create 'real' volcanoes. Children initiate many activities which are skilfully supported by staff. For example, outside older children pretend to go into space and explain to staff what they can find there. Staff extend this activity at the interactive board inside where

children and staff look at the real moon and discuss space and planets. Staff are now considering further opportunities for some children who learn English as an additional language to see and use their home language.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide an extremely welcoming, safe and friendly environment where children are at the centre of everything they do. Children settle quickly and build close bonds with their key persons. Staff are highly effective in modelling respectful relationships and they value children's opinion. The staff team ensures that the diversity of families with children attending the nursery is valued and celebrated exceptionally well. Children enjoy freshly prepared nutritious meals and snacks. They have exceptional opportunities to learn during the day why healthy food is good for them and how their body works.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All groups of children are extremely well prepared for school. Children are excellent communicators, self-motivated and are very keen to learn. They happily practice their early mathematical and literacy skills through various age-appropriate activities.
