Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager strengthens staff's very secure knowledge of child protection issues in a number of ways and risk assessments are rigorous. The providers and manager nurture staff, providing outstanding leadership. Self-reflection tools are impressive and exhaustive, leading to magnificent action plans. Staff qualifications have a significant impact on the quality of provision. The manager monitors staff practice through peer and video observations, for instance. Staff are either working towards a qualification or higher-level qualification, or attending training, such as supporting boys learning. The manager is now focusing on mentoring less confident staff to maintain the excellent teaching practice.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff firmly believe that all children are competent learners. They meticulously plan for all children's individual needs. Staff make excellent adaptations to support and integrate children who have additional needs or where English is not their first language. Children freely access the exciting outdoors environment, which facilitates their interests and preferred learning styles superbly. Staff create interesting role-play areas, reflecting children's family backgrounds and experiences. Children play imaginatively in the real low- level fitted kitchen, enhanced with real objects, such as plants, recipe books in different languages, and cultural items. Children delight in playing in the amazing indoor sandpit, designed by the providers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The nursery partakes in excellent projects and training to support secure foundations for children's future learning. These inspire families to support young children's communication and language skills and equip them with necessary skills before they reach the age of five. The manager is an ambassador for the local area, having recently visited the houses of parliament. Staff provide 'learning together' sessions, a reading room, home-learning resource packs and healthy cooking projects. Parents can also attend English speaking classes and first-aid training. Children's independence is superbly supported. For example, children self-select snack and chop up their fruit and vegetables. Staff have implemented nose-wiping stations to help children manage hygienic self-care tasks and new children are provided with a free bike to help support healthy living at home.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those at risk of underachieving, excel in their learning. They show outstanding motivation and curiosity and have a wonderful approach to learning. They show excellent collaborative play and fascination during many activities. They test out their ideas, explore and have immense fun. Children share ideas while excitedly making a pretend mud chocolate cake outdoors. They water plants that are growing in dangling wellingtons and engage in amusing road safety role play, using excellent language.
