n The environment is rich, superbly organised, stimulating and imaginative. Resources, toys and equipment are of a high quality, easily accessible and help to promote all areas of learning.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an excellent understanding of the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. They have a superb knowledge of the referral procedures to follow should they have concerns about the safety or welfare of a child. The manager uses her expert knowledge and experience to role model practice, guide and support staff and carries out regular supervision meetings to manage their performance. Training is sharply focused on meeting the individual learning needs of staff and helping to improve learning outcomes for children. This helps to ensure that the quality of teaching and learning continues to improve. Self-evaluation is highly effective. The manager fosters a culture of self-reflection and recognises that this is crucial to help to ensure that children continue to receive high-quality experiences. The manager monitors the progress of all children who attend the nursery, including different

groups of children. Data obtained is used to maximum effect to address areas where children make slower progress and the achievement gap is closing rapidly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use exceptionally effective teaching strategies and high-quality interactions during children's self-chosen play which helps to enhance their learning to an optimum level. Staff use a running commentary to describe what children are doing, introduce new words to extend their vocabulary and use pictures, signs and symbols to support children who are not yet communicating verbally. Pre-school children name sea creatures, such as 'crab', 'shark', seahorse', squid' and 'octopus' and explain that, 'A crab has a shell on it's back'. Younger children have a wonderful time when they engage in the 'Disco Dough' activity. They roll, squeeze, pat and poke the dough and make patterns in it with their fingers. This has a positive impact on the development of their small muscle control and early literacy skills in readiness for school. Staff track children's individual progress which enables them to quickly identify any gaps in their learning and seek external

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thrive and are extremely happy and settle well in this high-quality nursery. Staff provide children with clear and consistent boundaries and play alongside them which helps to teach them how to share and take turns. Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff help children to learn about the similarities and differences between people and communities and the wider world. Regular walks to the library, shops and building site help children to develop an excellent knowledge of the local community.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make rapid progress. They develop an excellent understanding of linking letters to sounds and a keen interest in writing their name. Older children count reliably to 10 and use mathematical language, such as 'big, bigger, biggest, small, smaller and smallest'. They confidently name shapes, such as 'circle, triangle, cone' and 'square'. Children gain an excellent range of skills, abilities and attitudes that help to prepare them extremely well for future learning and school.
