receive any extra support they need. The partnerships help staff to promptly plan exceptionally well to close any gaps in learning.  Children show high levels of confidence in social situations.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The designated child protection officers in the nursery have extensive knowledge of their roles and ensure the staff completely understand their role in keeping children safe and protected at all times. Training and ongoing support help to ensure staff have a clear and excellent knowledge of all child protection issues. The dedicated management team uses a robust recruitment procedure to ensure all staff are suitable to work with children. They also use highly effective systems to ensure the staff remain suitable. The management team continually evaluates practice, makes changes and drives improvement to benefit the children. The team ensures staff training is a priority. Staff complete a wide range of training to ensure they deliver the highest quality of teaching and care to children. For example, training related to working with two-year-olds helps staff to enhance this area of their work.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children absolutely flourish in this highly inspiring environment. The staff are highly dedicated and make innovative changes to the environment to ensure children remain excited and motivated to learn. For example, children have shown an interest in cars and staff developed a garage area with real tyres and cars for them to mend. Staff further enhance learning, for example, as children use maintenance sheets to discuss how to mend the cars and record their findings. Children's learning is impressive. Although staff use the resources exceptionally well to enrich children's learning experiences, they do not always enable children to make their own decisions as fully as possible. Staff use exciting opportunities to inspire children to enjoy their learning. For example, they carefully link a topic about nursery rhymes to talk to children about fire. Children are enthusiastic as they use hose pipes to pretend to put out a fire and excitedly talk about the colours of the

paper flames. They are thrilled to use the outdoor area and understand about taking safe risks as they decide which planks they can balance on and which ones are not safe.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The staff have developed a rich environment that is highly stimulating and fully fosters children's feelings of self-worth and confidence. Children are very well behaved and fully understand how their behaviour affects others. The staff know the children extremely well and meet their emotional needs exceptionally well. Children have extensive opportunities to learn about healthy lifestyles. For example, they know to drink plenty on hot days, serve themselves at mealtimes and understand about portion control.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make significant progress from their starting points and their learning is excellent. They gain a wide range of important skills for their future learning and have a superb understanding of language. For example, they carefully describe how to use locks and switches, and recall how to put the safety chain on a door.
