This provision is outstanding

 Leaders are passionate about their work and are inspirational role models for the staff. They are committed to providing opportunities that result in the highest possible levels of achievement for every child in their care.  Staff provide children with a wide range of highly stimulating and challenging activities, indoors and outdoors.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Leaders have extremely high expectations for all staff and children. They have excellent programmes in place to support the professional development of staff and they rigorously monitor the progress that children make to ensure that any gaps in learning are quickly identified and closed. Safeguarding is effective. Staff complete continuous, comprehensive training updates and demonstrate a robust understanding of procedures for reporting concerns. Leaders meticulously evaluate practice to continually improve. They are currently involving children and parents in enriching outdoor learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

All staff have the highest expectations of every child and use every possible opportunity to extend their learning. Staff skilfully question the children to prompt them to think for themselves. For example, children are delighted to share what they know about the animals living in the sea when they take part in a sensory activity. All children are highly motivated and are very curious learners. Staff work exceptionally well together and create consistently highly challenging activities. For example, children thoughtfully assess distance between two logs to calculate whether they have the ability to jump from one to the other. They show immense satisfaction at their achievement and share their excitement with the caring passionate staff. Babies use props with great enthusiasm and accuracy as they take part in exciting interactive story time sessions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are nurtured exceedingly well in the nursery. Arrangements for settling-in are highly effective, enabling key persons and parents to establish positive relationships at an early stage. All children demonstrate extremely high levels of confidence, self-esteem and emotional security. For example, babies instinctively approach their special key person for cuddles and plenty of reassurance when they are tired. Staff use their excellent knowledge to settle children, for example, they look at photographs of important people in their lives. Children have excellent opportunities to learn about healthy lifestyles. For example, children experience a range of nutritious homemade foods and get plenty of fresh air and exercise in the large garden. Although independence is widely promoted within the nursery, at times, staff do not make the very best of all opportunities to allow the children to do even more for themselves.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those for whom the provider is in receipt of additional funding, make remarkable progress in their development. They are exceptionally well prepared for their next steps in learning. All children are extremely confident to make decisions. For example, older children rapidly improve their literacy skills when they choose activities that support them to recognise letter sounds, print and independently write their own names. Younger children demonstrate high levels of engagement during role-play activities and captivate older children who excitedly join in with their imaginative play.
