Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a thorough knowledge of how to safeguard children and fully understand their role in protecting them. The manager implements a rigorous recruitment process, ensuring suitability of all staff. The manager is extremely passionate in her role and is continuously looking at ways to improve outcomes for children. For example, she considers parents’ feedback and incorporates their views in robust development plans. The manager is keen to continue finding ways to reflect the views of children, to maintain excellent outcomes. Successful monitoring of observations and assessments enables precise identification of where children are in their development and staff are highly proactive in narrowing any gaps in children’s learning. All children are making outstanding progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

All staff have an outstanding knowledge of the early years foundation stage and of how children learn. The quality of teaching is consistently of a very high standard. Highly effective systems are used to assess each child and support in their learning. Information gathered from ongoing observations is used effectively to plan activities based on children's interests. For example, children talk excitedly about recent holidays and staff skilfully build on this, encouraging them to dig for shells and treasure in the sand. Staff create individual learning journey records about each child which give an accurate overview of children's progress over time. Photographs and artwork clearly show children's enjoyment and achievements during their time in the nursery.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The successful implementation of the key-person system ensures that all children form exceedingly secure emotional attachments. As a result of recent expansion, children are offered a highly exciting learning environment. Children confidently move around their new spaces and select from a wide range of resources independently. In the baby room, for example, children locate colourful treasure baskets and explore the contents with great interest. Children’s behaviour throughout the nursery is exemplary. Staff provide clear boundaries which children quickly learn, and staff help them to fully understand the reasons for them. Children listen to one another during activities and are kind and considerate towards their friends. Highly successful arrangements help to support children when they move on to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are very well supported. Any gaps in a child's progress are promptly identified and sensitively shared with parents. Staff use additional resources and effectively adapt their teaching methods to meet these children's needs. Staff learn additional skills, such as sign language or the administration of emergency medicine, so that they can confidently meet children's additional needs. Staff make sure that all children are fully included within all activities. As a result, all children blossom and achieve to the very best of their abilities.
