assessment regularly and thoroughly and staff who keep the best records are given awards each month to promote best outcomes for children. Staff have excellent ways of keeping a detailed check on children's progress so that they can put in place highly effective support, where needed. n The manager has astute awareness of what she needs to do to build ongoing improvements in the nursery.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The manager supports staff exceptionally well. For instance, she has special individual meetings with staff to focus only on their well-being and offers support, if needed. The manager also meets with staff to review work performance and training needs thoroughly. For example, staff attended a course on supporting babies' development which led to more use of natural resources to enhance creative development in excellent ways. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have excellent knowledge of procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Children's safety is paramount. Staff perform robust checks covering all areas of the nursery to help to protect children from harm. The manager carries out rigorous background checks on staff to ensure suitability for their roles.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff support children's creative development in excellent ways. For instance, children create a farm using interesting textures, such as soil, water and hay. Children mix water with soil to create mud for the pigs and staff teach children about animal habitats. Staff help children to gain exceptional early literacy skills. They teach children about letters and sounds highly effectively. For example, children unwrap objects, name them and say the initial letter sounds. They then write the letter on an interactive white board, showing excellent technology skills. Staff support children's physical development in exceptional ways, such as by providing challenging activities for children to practise climbing, jumping and balancing. However, the manager recognises that she could provide even more learning opportunities for children who learn best outdoors.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff have excellent relationships with children. They spend a lot of time getting to know their personalities and interests to provide thoroughly enjoyable activities and familiar routines which help children to settle exceptionally well. Staff teach children excellent safety awareness. For example, older children show younger children how to hold their knives safely while eating their meals. Children gain exceptional independence. For example, even the youngest children help themselves to drinks in the group rooms and help to prepare for lunch. Older children are able to put on items of clothing by themselves and help to serve others at mealtimes. Staff teach children excellent routines to maintain healthy lifestyles. For example, they provide very well-balanced meals and excellent daily physical challenges.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly confident and extremely well motivated to learn. Babies have excellent creative experiences to support their learning and development very effectively. Children develop exceptional awareness of and respect for others. They share and take turns very well. Children have excellent counting skills and confidently name different shapes. They learn excellent skills to support their next stages of learning.
