Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an excellent knowledge of child protection requirements and are very clear about the procedures to follow to protect children. Comprehensive recruitment procedures help ensure staff are suitable to work with children. Managers and staff share a vision and enthusiasm for continually improving outcomes for children. The managers inspire staff to continue their professional development. They encourage staff to obtain further training and qualifications and to share their experiences with colleagues. For example, after a recent course staff have used what they learned to greatly improve younger children's communication and language skills. Rigorous tracking systems help ensure that children's individual needs are very well catered for and any gaps in development are promptly identified and targeted.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is of consistently high quality. Staff provide imaginative experiences to inspire children to examine, explore and think deeply about what they are learning. They interact effectively with children and act on their suggestions to fully deepen their knowledge of the world around them. For example, staff foster older children's early literacy enjoyment skilfully through leading an engaging outdoor session where children learn the initial sounds of familiar objects in enjoyable ways. Children use exciting vocabulary to talk about their favourite stories and characters, reflecting their enthusiasm for reading. Younger children explore various musical instruments, sing and dance to music delightfully. They are confident and show great pride in their performance.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thrive in this highly stimulating and inclusive learning environment. Staff set very clear and consistent boundaries and children know the rules. Behaviour is exemplary. Children manage their own play and learn to share and take turns exceptionally well. Helping children to learn how to take manageable risks and develop their physical well- being is a strong focus at the nursery. Children have access to superb outdoor facilities to play and exercise. They benefit from regular woodland activities where they explore the natural world. However, the manager recognises that occasionally staff could use the resources even better to enhance the children's understanding of the natural world, particularly when learning outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are extremely confident, highly motivated and eager to learn. They experiment and problem solve. For instance, they use vinegar and other ingredients to make erupting volcanoes making predictions as to what will happen next. Children make excellent progress in relation to their starting points. For example, children who speak English as an additional language express themselves and follow simple instructions extremely well. All children are exceptionally well prepared for the next stages of their learning and school.
