The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have an excellent understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about children's welfare. There are robust recruitment procedures to help ensure the suitability of staff. Detailed risk assessments are completed. Staff ensure that they are highly vigilant of children at all times. The management team are extremely reflective. They skilfully gather the opinions of parents, staff, children and partner agencies to make improvements to the nursery. Excellent systems are in place to support children and their parents during times of transition. For example, parents can access information and data about their preferred school and children can take home 'ready for school' bags to practise putting on their uniforms and learning to write their names. Through meticulous monitoring and tracking of children's progress the management team can identify any gaps in children's learning.

Children make excellent progress in their learning, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and children who speak English as an additional language. Older children develop early literacy skills well. They practise writing their names and learn the sounds of letters during group activities. Younger children make play dough following the visual recipe card. They count the scoops of flour and salt required. Children enjoy themselves and have lots of fun while learning.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely successful at learning to do things for themselves, such as laying the table, preparing fruit and pouring drinks at snack time. Staff are excellent at supporting children's emotional well-being. Babies settle with ease in the relaxed and comfortable environment. Staff successfully promote children's understanding and enjoyment of healthy lifestyles. For example, they ensure that children have excellent opportunities to be physically active. They have plans to continue enriching the outdoor area and recognise the importance of evaluating the impact on children's learning. Children have plenty opportunities to further broaden their experiences of different people and communities. They visit the local elderly care home and local leisure centre.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children thrive in this loving, caring and nurturing environment. They are exceptionally well motivated and eager to learn. They are helpful and kind and play together harmoniously. They develop excellent social skills. Children rise with enthusiasm to the learning challenges set by staff. For example, older children confidently find their name for self-registration and count the amount of children who have arrived before them. Younger children learn nursery rhymes, confidently singing them in English and German. All children make outstanding progress from their starting points.
