This provision is outstanding

 The quality of leadership and management is exceptionally high.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The pursuit of excellence is evident throughout the setting. It is continually promoted by the highly effective leaders and managers. Teaching, which is already of a high calibre, is further enhanced through the rigorous and purposeful performance management of staff. There is a strong culture of reflective practice which leads to ongoing improvements in outcomes for children. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of safeguarding procedures, which helps to keep children safe. Highly effective monitoring of the progress of both individual and different groups of children quickly identifies any gaps in learning, which are closed through specific programmes of help and support. Exceptional partnership working with other professionals leads to all children making the best possible progress in their learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff have consistently high expectations of what all children can achieve. Assessment information, including information from parents about what their children know and can do, is used meticulously to plan rich and varied experiences which enthuse, engage and motivate children to learn. The children delight in the 'football game' as they move in various ways using footballs. The staff are accomplished in following the children's lead as they talk about the letters in their names. Babies are beginning to mark make as, for example, they use paint brushes in flour to make marks. Effective staff deployment promotes children's learning through skilful questioning, such as when discussing why hearts beat faster following exercise. Highly successful strategies engage parents with children's learning at home. For example, 'rhyme time bags' are used to promote children's communication and language. Children enjoy outings away from the setting, and

these could be further developed to enhance children's learning about their community.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are highly skilled in building very strong relationships with children. This helps children to develop their confidence and independence. A school readiness display informs parents what children need to know to be ready for school such as, being able to dress and undress. Transition into school is very well supported through staff's excellent partnership working. Children are learning about healthy lifestyles as they correctly inform staff about how their hearts pump blood and oxygen around the body. A 'recipe for health award' has recently been awarded to further promote healthy living. Children demonstrate exceptional behaviour and staff are excellent role models, supporting children to develop their social skills. Parents said that they feel extremely well supported and spoke of a ‘perfect’ nursery.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make consistently high rates of progress in their learning and development from their starting points. Assessment is very well used to ensure that any gaps in children's learning are diminishing rapidly. Children are thriving thanks to the committed staff team and excellent environment, which successfully prepare children for school.
