Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have an excellent understanding of safeguarding, including wider issues. They are extremely confident in describing possible signs and the procedure to follow if they have concerns. Close links with the local authority ensure that staff have the most current training and advice available to them. Staff are well qualified and actively continue their learning to maintain their already excellent teaching practice. For example, training on mathematics has resulted in an even sharper focus on mathematics, which has had an extremely positive impact on children's learning. Highly effective arrangements for supervision and monitoring of staff's performance lead to outstanding practice throughout the nursery. The management team intends to continue with evaluating staff interactions to further enhance staff teaching skills.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are enthusiastic learners. Staff regularly observe children and use all information available to them to plan next steps for their learning. Staff are exceptionally skilled at supporting children to initiate, plan and extend their own learning. Younger children choose the rhymes to sing and plan the layout of the train track. As older children enthusiastically pretend to make ice creams using pla ydough, staff suggest that they could try making real ice cream. She asks them to consider what ingredients they will need and the children excitedly write a shopping list to hand to the manager. Staff immerse themselves in children's play and use it as an opportunity to help children to acquire new vocabulary. For example, when pretending to be hairdressers, staff introduce words to describe the colour, length and style of the children's hair such as, 'long', 'curly', 'blonde'. Children have extensive opportunities to develop their physical

skills in the outdoor area such as digging, climbing, running, catching and throwing balls.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff promote children's good health extremely well. Fresh, healthy meals are prepared on site and robust procedures ensure that any dietary requirements are effectively accommodated. Children take responsibility for contributing to the exceptionally high standards of hygiene practice. They wash hands after messy play, wiping their nose and before eating. Staff make excellent use of opportunities in the community to promote children's understanding of the wider world. For example, they invite people from other professions and cultures into the nursery. Older children take part in more challenging physical activities provided by sports professionals. Throughout the nursery, staff provide an extensive range of materials and resources to promote children's understanding of diversity.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Younger children engage in mark-making activities and older children practise recognising and writing letters. Younger children begin to recognise shapes and count and older children engage in some simple calculations. All children make substantial progress from their starting points.
