Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The provider and management team have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and work very effectively to lead a strong team of staff. Together, they are proactive in making continuous improvements which raise outcomes for children to exceptionally high levels. The highly qualified staff team are supported through well-planned supervision meetings and attend further training to build on their already excellent skills. They regularly share and discuss new methods of practice, such as how they could improve children's activity levels. This has a positive impact on children's health and well-being. Rigorous recruitment procedures ensure that staff are well qualified for their roles and entirely suitable to work with children. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders have created a culture of safety and vigilance in the nursery to ensure children are safe and secure. Staff are trained to recognise and respond to any possible signs to children of abuse,

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Planning, observation and assessment are extremely robust, and sharply focused on individual children's progress and next steps in learning. The environments are stimulating and children relish taking part in the learning opportunities on offer. Staff provide many opportunities for children to develop their early writing skills. They support children's desire to write letters correctly and clearly sound out words. Writing opportunities in role play areas provide children with wonderful opportunities to learn to write for a purpose, such as to make appointments in the play hospital diary. Managers carefully analyse the progress different groups of children make to identify any gaps in teaching and learning as early as possible. They recognise they can provide even more focused support for children by even more precise teaching at small-group times.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's health and physical development are promoted extremely effectively. They quickly learn about good hygiene routines and healthy eating is promoted at every opportunity. Children benefit from excellent opportunities to spend time outdoors. They have opportunities to climb, run and use ride-on toys. Staff help children to learn ways to keep themselves warm outdoors, such as moving around and wearing appropriate clothing. When children encounter a problem, staff skilfully question them to help them to understand how the problem occurred. Instead of offering them solutions, staff ask children how they think problems can be solved. This helps children to develop strong critical-thinking skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those in receipt of additional funding are developing excellent skills in their learning and are extremely well prepared for the next stage in their learning and the move on to school. Children acquire strong mathematical skills through play, such as when pretending to be shopkeepers. For example, they count and begin to understand value of items. Children enjoy stories and are able to recall information with precise detail. They confidently express their views, such as why they think a bear looks sad, suggesting he may be lonely and he needs friends to play with.
