Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Leaders and managers have highly effective systems in place to meticulously monitor all aspects of the nursery. They have robust procedures to ensure that children are kept safe and receive the very best teaching from all staff. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders thoroughly review and refresh staff's knowledge. They can all quickly identify any concerns and swiftly take action to protect children from harm. Managers make excellent use of incisive evaluation of staff's practice and methodically evaluate assessments of children's progress. All areas for improvement in the nursery are carefully researched to identify targeted strategies and specific training for staff. Support for children with English as an additional language has been significantly strengthened to raise the outcomes for this group of children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are highly skilled at using their voice and body language to enthuse children about learning. Older children listened with excitement as staff explained how they would be explorers looking for bugs. They quickly understood and smoothly followed their instructions, including how to keep safe in the icy weather. Younger children got deeply absorbed in experimenting with and investigating a fascinating variety of resources. Staff expertly inspired them to find out more about how the weighing scales work. Staff time their interactions with babies precisely, and gently extended their games with cars and trains. Staff work closely with parents when children first start to gather comprehensive information about children's development. However, this could be strengthened to encourage all parents to frequently share detailed information about children's learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are very keen to share their ideas and confidently talk about what they are going to do. Staff make especially good use of simple daily routines to support children to think about their learning. Children make choices about where to play and show persistence and determination in their learning. They have very high levels of self-control and regard for each other. Staff are excellent role models and younger children very quickly learn to share. Leaders and staff carefully plan how to incorporate and value each child within the setting as well as different cultures. Children's home languages are celebrated in books. Festivals from around the world are woven throughout the environment for children to experience.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make exceptional progress in their development and quickly become highly effective learners. They have very high levels of motivation, independence and confidence so they are particularly well prepared for the challenges of starting at school. Younger children show especially strong social skills for their age and can play alongside others with ease. Older children use their excellent thinking skills to make connections in their learning and explore their fascination with the world around them. Children who have English as an additional language quickly make progress in their communication skills and catch up with their peers.
