Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The manager monitors the nursery very successfully. For instance, she carries out comprehensive, regular planning and assessment checks to accurately identify and provide detailed support to any children falling behind in their development. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have excellent knowledge and understanding of procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Staff highly prioritise children's safety. They carry out robust checks in all parts of the nursery to help prevent accidents. Staff have excellent partnerships with parents and use very flexible and highly effective ways to keep them informed of children's progress. However, the manager recognises that this could be developed even further to enhance partnership working even more.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use a unique approach to stimulate children's learning across all areas of learning extremely successfully. For example, they used artist-based fiction books to stimulate children's imaginations. Children place glitter in water and say, 'We've got stars in the water', in relation to a famous painting. Staff provide younger children with highly interesting experiences to develop their understanding of the natural world. For instance, young children explore the feel and smell of fresh lemons as they play with them in water. Staff teach them new words to support their language development very successfully. The outdoor area has many exciting challenges for children where, for instance, staff organise highly engaging tasks, such as throwing and catching and moving confidently in different ways.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff take great care and time to find out as much as possible about children's personalities and home care routines. They use this information in nursery activities to meet children's needs extremely well. Staff teach children exceptional safety awareness, including how to act with care and caution in the nursery and when crossing roads. For instance, children remind each other not to run in the nursery otherwise, 'They will fall over things'. Staff teach children excellent health routines, for example, by providing very well-balanced meals and highly challenging daily physical outdoor activities. Children have excellent understanding of the benefits of these routines.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are very highly motivated to learn and extremely confident. Children gain excellent independence skills. For instance, even younger children learn to serve themselves at lunchtime and help to tidy up after mealtimes. They learn to share and to take turns exceptionally well and have excellent awareness of and respect for others from different cultures. Children learn exceptional skills to support their future learning.
