This provision is outstanding

 The management team uses extremely highly focused self-evaluation to consistently build on the excellent care and learning opportunities offered for children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have excellent knowledge of the signs and symptoms which may cause concerns about a child's welfare and fully understand the procedures to follow. Staff have completed relevant training and know how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. Staff's professional development is supported at the highest level. The management team rigorously monitors staff's practice and precisely tailors training to the individual needs of staff and children. The owner continuously drives innovation and improvement within the nursery to enhance the excellent learning experiences of children even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are highly skilled at supporting the learning of all children in different age ranges. For example, babies gaze transfixed at staff who maintain constant eye contact while they gently explore musical sounds together. Older children excitedly explore job roles they may have in the future through their imaginative play, such as being doctors. Both staff and children have the highest expectations for their future learning. Staff are currently developing ways to support children's problem-solving skills even further. Children have wonderful opportunities to learn about the natural world. For example, children gasp delightedly as they watch a giant snail eat the carrot they feed it, and they then carefully wash its shell with small brushes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide inspirational opportunities for children to learn about similarities and differences between themselves and others. For example, the manager, parents and children have worked together to create exciting lunch menus. These include all the children's favourite meals from home and reflect the diverse culinary traditions of their families. Children's emotional well-being is expertly nurtured. For example, staff meticulously plan how to settle new children into the nursery, so they become ready to learn as quickly as possible. They support children who are learning English as an additional language exceptionally well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children consistently display high levels of confidence and have extremely well-developed social skills. For example, they eagerly initiate complex conservations with nearby adults. Children are exceptionally well motivated and highly persistent. These qualities enable them to quickly gain new skills, which they spontaneously repeat until they are satisfied they have mastered them. They clearly derive huge satisfaction from their own achievements. Children continuously drive their own learning forward and develop and adapt their activities. They are exceptionally well prepared for their next stage of learning, including for starting school.
