Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have an excellent understanding of their roles in keeping children safe. Managers and staff have high aspirations for all children. Their drive and commitment to ensuring children learn through interesting, exciting learning opportunities is infectious. The manager works extremely well with staff, professionals, parents and children to evaluate the practice in the nursery. Feedback from parents is complimentary and they feel their children are developing at an excellent rate, thanks to support from staff. Parents state that staff listen to, and act on, their views exceptionally well. For example, staff have added more resources to the creative area.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children's language and communication skills blossom, including for those children who speak English as an additional language. Staff are extremely skilful at encouraging children's use of language. Staff ask open-ended questions that encourage children to question, think critically, make links and recall learning. For example, they discuss which insects might live underneath the stones and ground and why they live there. Staff are planning on evaluating the newly introduced learning activities outdoors to assess the impact on children's learning. Staff know when to help children to explore mathematical knowledge through counting and recognising number sequences. For example, children learn how to add and subtract and count the number of pumpkins they have and discuss their size and shape. Children help to prepare the tables for lunchtime and estimate how many cups and plates they need.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff nurture children's all-round development superbly with excellent care that supports their individual emotional needs. Staff are excellent role models and create a culture of mutual respect and kindness throughout the nursery. Nutritious, freshly prepared meals support children's health and well-being. Children's self-care skills continually blossom. They make informed choices with regard to their play and learning and develop strong attachments with their peers. Older children are extremely independent. For example, they eagerly tidy up their resources before choosing new toys to play with. Children enjoy excellent first-hand learning opportunities as they explore their local community and learn about the people who help them, for example, local police officers visit the setting to promote children's safety.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are exceptionally well prepared for the move to school. They develop excellent skills through an extensive range of activities to prepare them extremely well for the next stage in their learning or school. Children are enthusiastic learners and become absorbed in their play.
