p.1

This provision is outstanding

 Room leaders are becoming even stronger through professional development. Managers fully challenge staff to be the best possible teachers. Teaching is highly effective and where needed staff receive coaching to help them improve further.  Managers have continually developed their monitoring of the progress of individual and groups of children. This significantly enhances their learning, including children's technology skills. Staff identify support to help children rapidly grasp skills.  Managers have an expert understanding of the curriculum. They spend a great deal of time with staff and getting to know the children. Managers check to make sure every child receives a varied and interesting learning experience tailored to their needs.  Children have the highest levels of engagement and motivation, and are keen learners. The nursery is a calm environment that is conducive to very successful learning.

p.1

This provision is outstanding

 Staff are fully aware of the ways they can improve aspects of children's development for each room. They pay close attention to this in their teaching to help quickly close gaps in learning, such as children's speaking skills.  The highly stimulating environment is continuously improved. Staff provide extremely varied activities that help children to remain motivated and eager to join in.  Staff help all children, including those who start the nursery with low self-esteem, to develop a positive sense of self-worth. Children have very strong bonds with all staff.

He looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the nursery.  The inspector spoke to parents during the inspection, viewed their written feedback and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The leadership team is very strong. They have a clear drive to enhance the nursery even further. Leaders continually reflect on how they can further raise the excellent standards of practice. For example, some staff have recently moved rooms to better utilise their skills and provide even stronger teaching. Managers have identified the need to monitor this change to help ensure the quality of teaching remains outstanding and the change has a positive impact on children's outcomes. They use feedback from others successfully to shape practice and offer outstanding care and teaching. Safeguarding is effective. Staff work extremely well with other professionals to help support families. All staff, including the managers, are highly alert to child protection issues.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff skilfully adapt their teaching to support the most able children. They are highly enthusiastic and expertly focussed on making a difference to children. Their inclusive practice is inspirational and worthy of dissemination to others. Observations, assessment and planning are all of a high quality. Staff include all parents in assessing children's capabilities, identifying interventions and promoting development at home. Staff very skilfully re-shape their teaching based on children's emerging interests. For example, on the day of the inspection, pre-school children asked to go outdoors in the rain to use their umbrellas and explore. This developed into the children using chalks to draw raindrops, helping to promote their early writing skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The care children receive is excellent and staff are extremely attentive to the needs of the youngest children. They have significantly increased children's independence skills since the last inspection. Staff are astute in providing a balance of opportunities for children to take risks and manage risks without interrupting them or doing things for them. When children move from the adjacent nursery building, staff nurture them to help them feel ready for the move. Behaviour is excellent and very well promoted through staff's teaching of personal, social and emotional development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are either working beyond their expected levels or are quickly closing gaps in their learning from their starting points. Those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities rapidly grasp new skills. Older children have excellent mathematical and literacy skills. They can solve number problems, such as subtraction, and recognise the letter sounds of a range of words. Younger children are highly confident communicators and have outstanding physical skills. They respond to and hold conversations with staff, and make marks which they give meaning to with paint.
