Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Management and staff have an excellent understanding about the procedures to follow should they be concerned about a child's welfare. The manager supports staff in exceptional ways. Detailed comprehensive inductions and ongoing reflective discussions contribute to the exceptional practice of each staff member. For example, staff identified further training needs which resulted in babies exploring a greater range of sensory experiences and natural materials during their play. Staff are exploring even further ways to support children's move on to school. The manager values the views of all users and makes extensive use of their ideas to improve the provision. Staff deployment is excellent and ensures all children's needs are met. The management team meticulously reviews children's progress to comprehensively support their future learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff know children extremely well and follow their interests throughout the day. Staff give exceptional attention to supporting babies' communication, language and physical development. For example, babies giggle with delight as they catch and burst bubbles. Staff give children uninterrupted time to explore and investigate. Young children are very inquisitive, demonstrate high levels of concentration and perseverance. For instance, they open and look in boxes and move a range of different objects around the environment, totally engrossed in their play. Staff instinctively know when to intervene to support, challenge and extend children's play. Staff create a wonderful sense of excitement and successfully inspire children's enthusiasm, for example as children plant a range of spring flowers they talk of new growth and bright colourful flowers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The exceptional focus on the key-person approach supports children to settle quickly and form excellent relationships with staff which meets their emotional well-being extremely well. Staff seek out detailed information from parents to support this process. They carefully follow young children's home routines, sleep patterns, individual dietary requirements and parents' preferences. Children gain an excellent understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, staff talk to them about nutritious food choices and the origins of food. The nursery is exceptionally well arranged and resourced, and staff are meticulous in their attention to detail, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children listen carefully to instructions. For instance, they stop and start pedalling on their tricycles to avoid collisions and to keep themselves and others safe. Children show impressive skills when tackling physical challenges and managing risks, such as digging in sand and building with large bricks. Children learn to look after living things. They enthusiastically recall helping to nurture eggs by keeping them warm and became fascinated as they began to hatch. Children are extremely confident individuals who are ready to embrace the next stage in their learning and eventual move on to school.
