The provision is outstanding

n The experienced and committed management team has exceptionally high ambitions and expectations for the already excellent provision. Highly incisive self-evaluation, and a commitment to involve parents', staff's and children's views, means the nursery is continually evolving. n Children grow in confidence during their time in the nursery and their behaviour is exemplary. They show high levels of independence and involvement in activities. Their self-esteem is optimised and they show great respect and consideration for others. n Staff plan an excellent and exciting range of outings within the local community to further enhance children's learning. Children relish opportunities to find out about nature and the natural world around them. n Parental involvement in their children's learning is highly valued. Events, such as parents' evenings, stay-and-play sessions and workshops, keep parents informed about

their child's learning and progress. Parents highly praise the hard work and dedication of the staff team. n The special educational needs coordinator supports staff to develop highly effective partnerships with other professionals. Children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities are supported exceptionally well to make the best possible progress from their starting points. n Experienced staff thoroughly and sensitively prepare children for their move to a new room within the nursery. The open-plan layout allows all staff to get to know children and their families and there is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Staff share children's developmental reports and this ensures good continuity of care and learning. n Children benefit from planned and purposeful teacher-led activities throughout the day. They learn about number, shape, space and measure during activities and show confidence in identifying and writing numerals on whiteboards. Children progress

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The management team is passionately committed to continuously inspiring, supporting and coaching staff and is endlessly looking for ways to improve. Ambitious plans are in place to extend and review the excellent professional development opportunities already available to staff who care for children who have SEN and/or disabilities. Staff feel extremely well supported and valued and continually look for ways to enhance their skills. The manager, staff and early years teacher monitor children's progress highly effectively to identify and narrow gaps quickly. Funding is used especially well to enhance children's experiences at the nursery. Children's safety and well-being are given the highest priority. Every member of staff is first-aid trained and skilled to deal with accidents and emergencies. Comprehensive safeguarding policies and meticulous monitoring of staff's safeguarding knowledge, ensures children are protected from harm.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children throughout the nursery benefit hugely from a well thought out, organised and well-equipped learning environment. The nursery is a hive of purposeful activities. Staff consistently observe children and plan 'in the moment' activities based on children's interest and needs. This helps to move children on in their learning successfully. Staff show a genuine interest in what children are doing and their enthusiasm is infectious. Children are confident to pursue their own interests and make independent choices in their play. Babies are helped to become confident to hold and use various tools as they explore sensory materials. Toddlers experiment with paint on a large scale outdoors and are fascinated to see how each spray bottle creates a different pattern. Pre-school children conduct their own experiments with water and dye and predict what might happen. Staff expertly introduce new vocabulary and model language. They help

children as effectively as possible to communicate.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff work cohesively as a team and pride themselves on making children feel safe and secure. Children have a wonderful time at the vibrant and welcoming nursery. They laugh and smile as they play and benefit greatly from the positive and trusting relationships they have with staff. Children of all ages take advantage of the freedom to move freely between the indoors and outdoors. Older children test their physical strength as they negotiate space and master new skills on the obstacle course, skilfully created by staff. Babies use low-level furniture to pull themselves up, and staff help them to stand, walk and use a small slide. Mealtimes are social occasions where children talk excitedly about their day. Their independence is optimised as they carry out tasks for themselves, such as pouring their own drinks and serving their own food.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress and are well prepared for the next stage of their learning. Daily routines and play opportunities are used exceptionally well to teach children key skills in readiness for school. Children are self-assured and independent learners who demonstrate high levels of confidence and self-esteem.
