The provision is outstanding

Highly effective evaluations and exceptionally detailed improvement plans are very clearly focused on ensuring that children's independence and learning are highly prioritised in all aspects of the provision. n Staff make detailed and thoughtful observations of children's learning. They very effectively identify and successfully plan for what children need to learn next. Children develop very useful skills for the next stage in their learning and starting school. n Children's individual developmental needs are met exceptionally well.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Children's safety is of the utmost importance in the nursery. Staff have an extensive knowledge of the procedures to follow if they have concerns about the welfare of children. The manager has insightful plans in place to develop the nursery continually, such as to enhance further the already exciting outdoor area. The manager monitors staff performance extremely well, for example, through regular and thorough supervisory arrangements. Recent training has significantly improved the quality of teaching and learning in the nursery. Staff skilfully question children as they play and expertly adapt the learning environment to meet children's individual needs and interests. The manager recognises the importance of continuing to enhance staff knowledge and expertise even further to maintain the highest levels of practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children's laughter fills the air of this excellent nursery and the atmosphere buzzes with their excitement and eagerness to explore. Babies giggle with delight as they explore in the exceptional garden. They crawl in the mud and plop into puddles as they freely engage in messy play. Staff provide children with exciting and unique experiences. For example, they supply natural resources in the home corner, such as real vegetables, tea bags, rice, pasta and water. Children are superb problem solvers. For example, when making 'tea' they find the scissors independently to cut open the tea bags and source water from the water tray.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children behave exceedingly well. They demonstrate excellent listening and attention skills. Children help to create highly effective rules within the setting. They work very collaboratively with one another and form superb friendships. Staff provide great encouragement as children play and they acutely recognise children's achievements. Staff use consistent approaches to reason with children and explain the right way to behave. Children have excellent opportunities to be physically active and to take manageable risks and challenges to help them gain important skills. Supervision of children is highly effective.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop a vast array of key skills that support their future learning and readiness for school. All children are highly motivated and eager to learn. For example, when older children discover they do not have any brown paint to complete their leaf painting, they work together with careful guidance from the staff, to find out which colours they need to make the colour brown. Toddlers proudly count out loud and are incredibly independent as they serve their own meals and choose activities after their lunch. Babies scream with delight as they splash in water in small wheelbarrows and watch the water run as they tip it out.
