p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The manager has high expectations of what children will achieve and leads a robust and well-planned routine. Highly effective systems are in place to monitor children's excellent progress and to continually challenge and improve their outcomes. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an excellent understanding of how to keep children safe. The manager's outstanding practice underpins the drive to improve achievement for all children. For example, through accurate assessments planning is highly successful. The manager makes successful changes, for instance, the development of a builder's role-play area supports all areas of learning and takes into consideration children's interests. The manager plans excellent support and valuable training for staff to ensure consistently high standards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children's learning is promoted highly effectively. High-quality observations and extensive knowledge of children's experiences at nursery and home enable staff to make accurate assessments. Planning is outstanding and offers children challenging experiences. For instance, children use their imaginations while playing with gloop. They pretend it is blueberry juice, and staff respond quickly and provide blue colouring and add fragrance. Staff use excellent questioning skills to help extend learning, and children use descriptive language. They explain that the mixture feels like rain going through their fingers. Children are highly motivated and are fully engaged in play. For example, while playing outside they create a cafe to feed the builders and communicate with each other effectively. Staff are now considering how to build on the excellent opportunities for children to use technology outdoors.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The manager works exceptionally well with parents to ensure an outstanding knowledge of each child's routines and care needs. This excellent communication helps children to settle very quickly. They build strong bonds with staff, develop special friendships and show great care towards one another. Staff use frequent and sensitive encouragement when they interact with children. In turn, children demonstrate high levels of self-control and behave exceptionally well. Children clearly understand about healthy lifestyles and keeping safe. For example, they talk about healthy eating as they eat their snack and they listen carefully to instructions to keep themselves safe while travelling up and down the stairs. Children learn to respect others and develop a positive attitude to people's differences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make substantial progress. They develop a very wide range of key skills to support them in their next stage of their life. They are highly motivated to learn and are eager to join in and try new experiences, such as tasting exotic fruits and foods from around the world. Children use their imaginations and independent thinking skills extremely well. This helps quickly close gaps in their development.
