p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate an excellent knowledge of safeguarding practice. The management team is extremely committed to the continued professional development of its team and has high expectations. All staff contribute to action plans and evaluations. Staff are supported through comprehensive inductions, regular staff meetings, mentoring and close monitoring from the management team. Training has a significant impact on children. For example, staff have recently attended training on motivating boys which has inspired them to look at mark-making areas to make these more inviting for children. Staff have forged partnerships with other professionals and review their practice through attending moderation meetings. Staff have robust tracking processes in place. If gaps in children's learning are identified, they are swiftly addressed.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are excellent teachers and are extremely skilful at following children's natural curiosities. They offer a wide range of learning opportunities which enthuses children to investigate and explore. For example, children have a great sense of awe and wonder as they discover a number of eggs that have been left in their room overnight. This prompts some excellent language opportunities and promotes children's thinking skills as they consider what may be inside. Children enthusiastically compare the properties of eggs when they are cooked or in their raw state, talking about liquids and solids. They draw pictures of different creatures and independently write their names on their artwork. Staff constantly assess children's learning and consider how they can maximise children's development. They are considering further ways to enhance the outdoor area.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The nursery is extremely welcoming. Staff understand children's needs exceptionally well as they liaise with parents regularly through parent consultations every six weeks. When children initially start at the nursery, staff complete a home visit to gain an in-depth knowledge of children's care and learning needs. Staff are extremely nurturing and support children's emotional well-being, such as when they move rooms or go to school. Children's independence is greatly encouraged. For example, they set the table for lunch, serve themselves and wash their own dishes. Children are beginning to understand personal safety and risk. They enjoy using real tools, such as a screwdriver, sandpaper and hammer, which supports developing physical skills. Children learn about the wider world in imaginative ways. For example, they visit a local garage to observe different car engines and tend a local allotment in partnership with a charity group.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make excellent progress from their starting points. They are extremely confident and self-assured with a thirst for exploration. They forge friendships, negotiate their own play and are enthusiastic about learning. Children are superbly prepared with the skills they will need for their future learning and school.
