Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff offer extensive opportunities for children to explore a wide range of stimulating and challenging activities and experiences which helps all children make exceptional progress. Younger children persist at their chosen activities for sustained periods. Staff are remarkably skilful in their involvement in children's play. This ensures that children are given opportunities to play independently and also with adult support. Older children are continually engaged in meaningful conversation as staff continue their first-rate support. For example, they continually ask questions to challenge children's critical-thinking skills, helping them to make links in their learning and extend their language development. Detailed, accurate assessments are used extremely well to inform planning and are shared with parents and other professionals to further support children's excellent progress in all areas of development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The nursery provides a very warm and welcoming environment. Children are emotionally supported by caring and attentive staff who help them to form strong attachments. Children gain confidence as they join in with group games and develop their coordination skills. Meals are freshly prepared at the nursery and staff give paramount attention to food safety and hygiene. Mealtimes are social occasions, where children sit in small groups. They learn about healthy lifestyles as they eat healthy, varied and nutritious food.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make excellent levels of progress during their time at the nursery and show remarkable curiosity and levels of independence in their play and exploration. Children who begin at nursery with delayed social, linguistic or physical development, rapidly benefit from prompt interventions. Additional funding is used wisely and is closely monitored to illustrate how staff raise outcomes for individual children. Older children are exceptionally well prepared emotionally and educationally for school.
