This provision is outstanding

n Children's behaviour is exemplary. They remain highly engaged in their own learning experiences and are highly motivated to join in. All children make high rates of progress from the time they first start at nursery. Where delays are identified, staff take prompt and rigorous action to provide further support. n The well-qualified and experienced staff team demonstrate consistently high-quality teaching skills. They know children very well and use information from their observations and from parents to plan activities which engage and challenge all children. For example, staff offer children more complex resources as they master skills, such as shape matching and measuring. n Staff develop exceptionally strong and positive relationships with children. This promotes an excellent sense of security and emotional well-being so that children form highly positive attachments and show great motivation in their learning.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

They have an excellent understanding of how to keep children safe from harm. There are highly effective arrangements for the recruitment and supervision of staff and the manager displays a strong commitment to enhancing their knowledge and skills. The manager and staff monitor children's development very effectively. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make rapid progress in their learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff observe children extremely carefully and have an excellent knowledge of how to develop children's learning. They work very effectively together to plan activities skilfully, which link closely to children's next steps and interests. Teaching is highly responsive to children's needs and ideas as they play. For example, staff ask simple questions to promote language and thoughtful questions to extend their thinking. Staff provide numerous, inviting opportunities across the nursery for children to develop reading and writing skills. For example, children draw excitingly on the interactive white board and start to recognise their names. Children eagerly listen to stories and are completely absorbed in retelling and acting these out.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are vigilant, well deployed and adult-to-child ratios are very well maintained. Staff complete very thorough risk assessments to ensure that the premises are clean and safe. Children are supervised extremely well, including when they move between play spaces. They take part in exciting and challenging physical activities daily, such as during music and movement sessions. Staff explain why it is important to rehydrate by drinking water and to make healthy food choices. Children enjoy nutritious and healthy snacks tailored precisely to their individual needs. They develop excellent levels of independence and learn how to tend to their self-care needs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children thrive in this stimulating and wholly inclusive environment. They make rapid progress from when they first start at the nursery. Children develop excellent independence, self-esteem and emotional well-being as they move freely inside and outside. They are very familiar with and are extremely comfortable in their surroundings. Children are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage in their learning.
