Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff team have an excellent knowledge of the signs of possible abuse and the procedures to follow if concerned about a child's safety or welfare. Staff regularly attend training courses that build on their expertise, skills and knowledge in early years practice. The manager uses a variety of methods to evaluate the provision. She very successfully obtains feedback from parents, staff and children and uses this information extremely effectively to enhance the nursery even further. For example, there are plans to continue developing the outdoor learning environment to benefit children. Parents report that they are extremely pleased with the nursery and how the manager and staff have supported them and their children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff know the children exceptionally well and plan challenging activities according to their needs. Staff are particularly strong at building on each child's existing skills and using their interests to extend their learning. For example, children collect leaves and twigs on a nature walk, which they then use to make pictures. They use electronic tablets to find out more information about, and further investigate, their finds on the walk, such as the insects they saw. Children's communication and language skills are extremely well supported. For instance, staff share children's favourite books with them. They use props and bring the stories to life. Children enthusiastically join in with the words and phrases they know. Younger children are engrossed as they use musical instruments and sing well- known nursery rhymes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

A highly effective key-person system enables staff to understand the unique individual needs of all children. New children settle into the nursery quickly. Settling-in procedures are tailored to each child and their family's needs. Children are learning to care for the world around them. For example, older children have formed an eco-committee and are learning how to care for the environment, such as through recycling. Younger children are active members of the committee and undertake age-appropriate tasks. For instance, they are proud as they check that taps are turned off when not in use. Children benefit from a wide range of activities in the local community. This includes visits to local amenities, such as shops to buy the ingredients for cooking activities. They are learning to eat healthily and they grow a range of vegetables, which they use in the nursery.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are inquisitive and keen learners. For example, they giggle together as they use weighing scales with toys and try to balance them, building on their mathematical development. All children make extremely high levels of progress from their starting points. They are exceptionally well prepared for their next stage in learning and their eventual move on to school.
