The manager constantly monitors staff's performance and provides excellent training opportunities to support their continuous professional development. Teaching is of a consistently excellent high standard. The setting offers parents a wealth of opportunities to be involved in their child's learning. For example, parents are invited into the setting to participate in an extremely varied programme of activities. Weekly newsletters provide information regarding current events and responses to queries from parents.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The learning environment is wonderfully organised in ways that promote children's independence. The manager is now considering how to make routines even more flexible to aid children's learning. They thoroughly enjoy taking on responsibilities to help each other. For example, preparing snacks, laying the tables for meals and helping to take in the shopping. Children reflect on their own learning superbly. For example, they look at photographs and talk about recent outings and experiences. Staff monitor children's progress very closely and precisely plan for the next steps in their learning. Staff very skilfully promote children's language development. For example, they talk about what they are doing and what they discover in the environment. Children who are learning English as an additional language and who have language delay are supported extremely well. Staff learn key words in the children's home language to make communication even more

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are highly motivated and thoroughly enjoy their time at nursery. Communication between staff and parents is excellent. Parents contribute to their children's progress records as they log onto the online assessment system used by the nursery. Parents speak very highly of the nursery and are pleased with the information they receive each day. Staff promote respect for others through a superb variety of exciting experiences. For example, children participate in activities to raise funds for local charities and causes. They learn about different cultures as they participate in activities to celebrate festivals from around the world, such as Saints' days, Eid and Chinese New Year. The key-person approach is highly effective in ensuring children feel safe and secure in the nursery.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make excellent progress in all aspects of their care and learning, and children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities make better than typical progress from their starting points. They show extremely high levels of concentration and engagement as they explore and discover for themselves. Children are very well prepared for moving on to school and other nurseries. They develop early literacy and numeracy skills, and learn to be independent and to assess the safety of their environment superbly.
