Children develop exceptionally secure relationships with their key person. They are extremely happy, confident and enthusiastic learners. n Partnerships with parents are very strong.

For example, they comment that they are reassured their

children are safe and well cared for. n The nursery environment provides children with an inspiring range of resources, indoors and outside. Staff use their expert knowledge to plan exciting and interesting activities that continually develop children's interests and next steps in learning. This helps promote excellent outcomes for children. n Staff make optimal use of the community. For example, children enjoy weekly trips to visit the residents of the local care home. This helps to extend children's understanding of people, places and communities locally and in the wider world. n Staff are exceptional role models. They provide children with clear and consistent behaviour boundaries and teach the importance of good manners. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They enjoy secure friendships, share and take turns.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have an expert knowledge of the nursery's policies and procedures. They are extremely confident in recognising and identifying possible signs of abuse and know the procedures to follow should they have concerns. The manager and staff demonstrate exceptional commitment to professional development. Their high-quality qualifications actively contribute to the quality and standards of the nursery. For example, the manager has identified the importance of more-experienced staff sharing their exceptional knowledge with newer and less- experienced members of the team. As the nursery continues to expand, she plans to use the expert skills of staff to inform the practice of newer members so that children continue to make very rapid progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The manager and staff meticulously track children's individual and group progress. Staff make precise observations and assessments of children's learning and development. They use the information to identify any gaps in learning and inform teaching and planning. For example, staff have recently introduced a nuts and bolts station in the pre- school room to help children develop increasing control using tools and objects, including pencils for writing. Children experience a wealth of fun-filled experiences. Staff are highly skilled in providing opportunities for children to develop their language skills. Pre-school children talk about ingredients in their role-play ice-cream parlour. Babies demonstrate exceptional concentration during group time. They follow animated and enthusiastic staff as they sing and join in with action songs. Toddlers listen attentively to well-timed questions that challenge their thinking as they pretend to prepare meals and make

drinks. Children continually flourish and develop their capabilities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The relationships between staff and children are exceptional. Staff are highly responsive to individual needs. They work closely with parents. High-quality information-sharing ensures tailored support and continuity in care. Children demonstrate high levels of self- esteem and outstanding confidence. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and physical exercise each day in the inspiring learning environments. Staff provide innovative opportunities for children to learn how to manage risks. For example, pre- school children nominated as 'safety rangers' have the responsibility of helping staff to identify and manage risks in the environment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make rapid progress from their starting points and are extremely well prepared for their next stage in learning. Children gain excellent early reading and writing skills. For example, babies enjoy listening to well-read stories and looking at pictures in lift-the-flap books. Toddlers are keen to share their ideas as they look at and draw on newspaper pages. Pre-school children confidently write words and simple sentences and learn the sounds that letters represent. Children learn essential mathematical concepts and benefit from the abundance of opportunities to count, sort and match.
