p.1

The provision is good

n Leaders and staff are passionate about the continual development of the nursery. They have a clear vision for the future and are motivated to achieve the best possible outcomes for all children. n All children make good progress in all areas of their development. Younger children learn familiar songs and rhymes, and older children count accurately, recognise letters and use mathematical language about shape and quantity. n Children behave exceptionally well. They are sensitive to other children's feelings and they anticipate their needs. For instance, children readily share resources when more children join in with activities. n Staff facilitate children's independence and curiosity extremely well. They have created a highly interesting and well-organised learning environment, indoors and outdoors. Children enter the nursery confidently and eagerly begin to engage in their self-chosen play. n Staff work effectively with other settings and professionals to provide continuity for all

children, including those who require additional support.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Leaders' procedures to monitor and evaluate the progress of different groups of children are not fully developed and embedded in their practice. n Leaders' systems for overseeing the quality of teaching do not evaluate the impact of staff's practice rigorously enough to raise the quality of teaching to a higher level.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff demonstrate a good awareness of safeguarding and wider child protection issues. They are secure in their knowledge of how to identify and report concerns to protect children from harm. Staff use procedures, including risk assessment, to keep children safe. Leaders implement robust procedures to verify the ongoing suitability of staff. Overall, leaders have successfully created a culture of self-reflection and evaluation. They continually seek feedback from parents, children and staff to form their future action plans. Staff benefit from ongoing support and training opportunities that help to build on their existing skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe, assess and plan for the individual future learning needs of children. They take into consideration the ideas of children and evaluate activities to ensure they are providing them with a wide variety of learning opportunities. Staff provide a variety of interesting and stimulating activities to support individual children's learning needs. For example, babies explore messy play with enthusiasm. Staff respond to babies emerging interest in emptying and filling, by providing additional containers for the babies use. Children are very creative. They make various patterns and prints and enjoy recreating pictures of Hedgehogs supporting their learning of Autumn. Staff support children's language and communication skills well. They ask open-ended questions and give children time to think and formulate their reply before responding.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff nurture children's developing confidence and self-esteem extremely well. For example, children take pride in sharing their knowledge with others and staff praise their achievements. Children's behaviour is impeccable. They demonstrate exceptional self- control. For example, they excitedly push the large barrel outside altering their pace so that younger children can join the fun. Toddlers form very strong emotional attachments to staff. For instance, they calm instantly when their special adult gives them a cuddle. The standards of care and hygiene are extremely high throughout the nursery. Children have strong bonds with each other and this is noted by parents. Staff have extremely successful partnerships with parents. Communication is a truly two-way process. Children's achievements are constantly celebrated, which gives children high levels of self-esteem and feelings of self-worth.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and are enthusiastic, inquisitive learners. They recognise and link letters and sounds. Children register their attendance and begin to write their own names. They understand the importance of listening to what their friends have to say. Children are very welcoming to visitors and many of the older children communicate confidently. They are well supported as they move through the nursery and eventually, on to school.
