Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager systematically challenges and extends staff's knowledge of child protection. Staff benefit from regular supervision with the manager who ensures training is completed and implemented successfully. She carries out robust reviews of staff practice to sustain the extremely effective teaching and supports staff to deliver exceptionally high-quality learning and development opportunities. This impacts tremendously on all children's learning and supports their outstanding progress. Staff are passionate and energetic and thoroughly enjoy their work and strive to be the best they can. While staff encourage parents to contribute to their child's learning and development they acknowledge they could do more to help parents continue their children's learning at home. The manager seeks the views of parents, children and staff to set attainable targets to drive continual improvements.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children's learning is significantly enhanced by the staff's highly skilled interactions. Staff monitor the progress children make, for instance, by using detailed assessments and plan highly stimulating activities linked to children's interests. Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities benefit exceptionally well from tailored intervention to close any gaps. Staff expertly lead an activity to support children's mathematical knowledge. They promote the language of size superbly as the children use big and little containers and discuss quantity as they make cakes in the mud kitchen. Staff are confident and allow children time to play and develop their own ideas. For instance, in the construction area children build a 'Fire Station' with a superb range of resources and keep it to show parents when they are collected at the end of the day. Staff support understanding of the world exceptionally well. They help children to understand why

people have different lifestyles and different roles within the community. For example, Refuse Collectors and the Police visit the nursery to talk about their roles.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children learn to respect and care for one another. They listen attentively to each other and engage in discussions. For example, children talk about their feelings at the start of the day and care for each other impeccably well. All children have the opportunity and freedom to explore and investigate the well-planned learning areas, which are well resourced. Staff place a strong emphasis on teaching children about the importance of exercise. For example, children enthusiastically play on the outdoor climbing frame and are supported extremely well to use the pedals on the bicycles. Staff support children's independence exceptionally well. Children take great pride in serving their own lunch and tiding away the dishes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make excellent progress from their starting points. The gaps between groups of children close significantly and, in some instances, exceed expectations. Older children gain a secure understanding of colour as they mix the paints together to create new shades. Children are very well prepared for school. They accept challenges and are engaged and motivated to learn.
