Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Children's safety is given utmost priority and staff have an extremely thorough understanding of child protection issues. The dedicated and inspirational management team has high aspirations. It strives to provide consistently outstanding practice across all aspects of the provision. The quality of teaching is regularly evaluated and staff are continually provided with superb and highly targeted ongoing supervision and support. For example, managers and staff regularly review each other's practice and put in place targeted action plans and improvements that contribute towards children's continued high rates of progress. Recruitment and induction procedures are comprehensive and help ensure the suitability of staff. Parents speak very highly of the staff and are happy with the exceptional care their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The highly motivated staff team has an excellent understanding of how to identify and plan for the unique ways that children learn. Comprehensive observations and assessments ensure that any need for early support is identified and gained promptly. Staff are extremely successful in increasing children's sense of curiosity and imagination in the activities they provide. For example, children become intrigued and animated as they explore the changes happening when mixing flour, water and coloured gel together. Staff give children excellent support to develop their early literacy skills. For example, children practise making marks, recognise their written name and begin to sound letters of objects. Children develop excellent mathematical skills. They add and subtract different weighted counters to scales and determine how many are needed to balance the scales. Staff are now considering how to further strengthen children's understanding of technology.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff know children extremely well and continually encourage them to build on their confidence and self-esteem. Staff gather comprehensive details about children when they first join. They use this highly effectively to support individual children's needs and give consistency of care between home and nursery. The baby room has a calm and soothing atmosphere. Staff speak gently to babies, providing reassurance and comfort. Staff help and support healthy lifestyles, and promote children's overall well-being extremely well. For example, stringent meal routines and care plans support children who have dietary and allergy requirements. Children develop superb independence and self-care skills, and eagerly volunteer to undertake small tasks. For example, collecting mealtime name cards, washing their dishes after meals and tidying away their toys.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those whose starting points are below typical levels, make rapid progress. They are confident, self-assured individuals who demonstrate a thirst for learning. Children show impressive skills when tackling physical challenges. For example, when learning how to play baseball, they confidently use bats and balls, and understand the rules of the game. They are exceptionally well prepared for their next stage in their learning.
