Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

This helps them to rapidly highlight gaps in learning and ensure children receive exceptional support to continue to exceed expectations. Although, the manager is now considering how to enhance further the excellent progress that different groups of children make. Staff have high expectations of what children can achieve. They encourage children to extend their early writing skills. For example, children regularly write comments about what they have learnt from recent activities, these are then proudly displayed around the nursery. Staff support children to blend the sounds that letters represent to help them form new words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are unfailingly positive role models who want to learn more. This helps children to become enthusiastic explorers and successful learners. Children develop an excellent understanding of healthy lifestyles. For instance, at mealtimes they discuss the benefits of food groups, such as carbohydrates and calcium. Staff have high expectations of children to be independent and this helps them learn to do things for themselves. Children are very well supported to form close bonds that enable them to feel safe and secure. For instance, staff are teaching children how to discuss and debate with their peers in small groups.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are confident, highly motivated and eager to learn. They develop excellent speaking and listening skills. Older children order numerals and add and subtract quantities of objects confidently. All children make excellent progress from their different starting points. They are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their learning.
