different groups extremely well.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The manager's and staff's self-reflection of practice is highly effective and robust and incorporates the views of staff, parents and children. Senior room leaders evaluate their rooms on a monthly basis. This help them to identify better practice. For example, they observed that children's independence could develop more at breakfast time and have since introduced children to pouring their own milk. The manager has plans to introduce more efficient methods for monitoring and tracking children's learning and development. Staff attend extremely beneficial training to enable them to keep their skills and knowledge up to date. For instance, the manager attended training on developing an outstanding setting. This helped her to reflect on her setting and make changes, such as pre-school children voting on adjustments to their playroom as part of self-evaluation. Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a comprehensive knowledge of the safeguarding

policies to help protect children's safety and welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff's enthusiasm for their jobs is apparent in every aspect of their working day and many of them have been in post for a long period of time. They plan meticulously for children's individual needs and interests. Staff are highly skilled at promoting children's communication and language skills. They model the correct pronunciation of words for young children and ask a range of open-ended questions to help to develop older children's deep-thinking skills. In pre-school, staff introduce mathematical thinking into activities. For instance, children use resources to work out which items will sink or float. They thoroughly enjoy the activity and develop an excellent understanding. Babies have plenty of space to explore and develop their walking skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide a rich learning environment and are highly effective at stimulating each child's imagination, enthusiasm and enjoyment. The baby room has a calm and soothing atmosphere. Staff speak gently to babies, providing reassurance. Behaviour within the nursery is exemplary. Children develop skills in sharing, taking turns and working collaboratively. Staff are exceptionally effective at promoting children's physical development. Children flourish and thoroughly enjoy time spent outdoors in all weathers. For example, children aged two to three years take great delight in trying to catch the rain in pots so that they can measure it. At the start of the morning and afternoon session children take part in a movement to music activity to wake them up ready to take part in activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are successful learners and acquire the skills and attitudes to prepare them for their move on to school. They make consistently high rates of progress. Children in all age groups show high levels of focus, excitement and engagement as they play. Pre- school children enjoy making marks and start to recognise the first letter of their name. They are eager to have a go at writing it for themselves. All children develop a great appreciation for looking at books. In pre-school, they listen to stories on the compact disc player and know when to turn the page in the story as they listen carefully.
