go about their day with great enthusiasm. They are very polite, extremely well- mannered and behave very well.  Partnerships with parents and other professionals are exemplary.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The managers implement very effective recruitment procedures to test out the suitability of those that they employ. All staff have a detailed understanding of their responsibilities to safeguard children, including what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. The managers rigorously monitor all children's progress, including those for whom they receive extra funding. They use this information extremely well to help children make even more progress. For example, children now explore their local community by bus and train to develop further their knowledge of their community. Staff plan to explore more ways of teaching children about the responsible use of technology.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff fully involve parents and children in making very accurate assessments of each child's progress and interests. They use this to plan and deliver learning experiences that fully challenge and inspire children to learn. Children respond extremely well to the highly focused learning experiences, For example, staff deliver exceptional activities that continue to develop children's speaking, listening and literacy skills to a very high level. Staff make the best of every opportunity to show children new skills, and children respond by using these to a very high level in their independent learning. For example, children measure bricks and mix wallpaper paste, and give their friends clipboards to record their measurements. Other children make use of the cosy seating areas to ask each other about their day and to plan together what they are going to do next.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

All children show extremely high levels of emotional well-being. They are full of energy and smiles. Staff pride themselves on the very warm welcome they offer to all children and their families. Parents report that it feels like 'one big family'. Children show great kindness towards each other. For example, they spontaneously help each other to complete simple tasks. Mealtimes are a very social affair. Staff use these really well to promote an interest in a healthy lifestyle and to build children's self-esteem. For example, everyone sits together to enjoy their lunch and staff and children use the time to exchange news and talk about their day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly inquisitive and confident learners. They show a real maturity to their learning as they make choices about what to do, and use resources with great care and skill. Children learn to write their names, recognise letters and use their highly developed speaking skills to explain what they are doing. They learn to count, sort and match quantities. They learn to listen to each other and to the adults who help and encourage them. They learn to stay safe and to treat people that they meet with courtesy and respect. By the time they leave nursery, they show all the skills needed to continue to thrive in their future learning.
