This provision is outstanding

 The providers and management team are extremely dedicated and passionate about providing high-quality care and education for all children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are very clear in their knowledge and understanding of how to keep children safe and well protected. They implement robust policies and procedures to help keep children as safe as possible. The manager has rigorous recruitment and induction procedures and uses meetings, such as supervisory sessions, to monitor staff's ongoing suitability and identify their training needs. The manager has high expectations of all her staff and their superb teamwork is highly valued. Staff form very strong partnerships with parents and involve them in the majority of their children's learning and the development of the nursery. For example, parents enjoy stay- and-play sessions and special days, although, some opportunities are missed for the parents of the younger children to support children's learning at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff make accurate and precise observations and assessments of children's progress. They use this information to plan precisely for the next steps in each child's learning. Staff have an excellent knowledge how children learn, they expertly adjust their teaching and engagement in activities to the children's age and interest. Babies and younger children have a wide range of sensory activities to explore. Staff consistently praise very young children for their use of language, repeating words to reinforce children's understanding and pronunciation. Older children relish opportunities to participate in sessions with the teacher, such as developing early phonic knowledge and learning about sharks. Children are incredibly motivated and guide much of their learning themselves. Staff follow children's lead proficiently and seize opportunities to extend children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely well supported as they settle in and when they move between rooms. Parents are fully involved in the process to help children settle quickly. Children have an excellent understanding of the rules, boundaries and routines. They demonstrate exceptionally high levels of self-esteem and emotional well-being. Older children are exceptionally confident and independent, and they build excellent relationships with all staff and learn to do things for themselves. Staff actively encourage children to adopt a healthy lifestyle. For example, children have extensive opportunities for exploring outside. They enthusiastically grow vegetables from seeds and harvest their produce to take home and share with their parents.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress in their development from their starting points, and any gaps in their learning are closing quickly. They develop important skills they need for their next stage in learning, including starting school. Children are highly motivated to learn, are eager to join in and try new experiences, showing a great enthusiasm for learning.
