Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff are highly vigilant and understand their duty to protect children, and procedures to follow regarding a child protection concern. They ensure children are extremely well supervised and cared for. The management has rigorous recruitment processes in place. There are excellent systems to ensure all staff are suitable to work with children. The manager monitors staff's performance extremely well, for example through regular and thorough supervisory arrangements. A sharply focused and continuous evaluation of the nursery practice and meticulous monitoring of children's progress help to identify areas for improvement. For example, there is scope to develop further learning opportunities outdoors to ensure that all children continue to make very strong progress.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is consistently of a very high quality. Staff are extremely responsive to babies' individual needs. They are incredibly nurturing and plan an excellent range of sensory activities to develop children's learning. Toddlers show excellent levels of curiosity as they participate, for example, when they roll various objects down a plastic pipe to see how far they will go. They delight in water play, and fill and explore objects that float or sink. Staff skilfully support them to develop their listening skills and express their own ideas. Older children benefit from highly enriching experiences. For example, children are highly engrossed while making a volcano. They are engaged in the activity, and discuss what will happen when they add vinegar and paint to the baking powder. Children are given time to think and to give their own explanations and ideas about what they see and do. Throughout all activities, staff model communication and language skills

exceptionally well. They use consistently well-planned questioning that challenges children's thinking to a higher level.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

All children are extremely independent and confident. They enthusiastically explore their surroundings. For instance, babies discover natural objects with interest and excitement. Children are superb problem solvers and have a secure understanding of how to keep themselves safe. Older children think logically and calculate manageable risk. For example, they use wooden planks and large wheels to create balancing activities. Mealtimes are exceptionally sociable. Children thoroughly enjoy eating nutritious meals together and begin to learn about the importance of eating healthily.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly motivated and maintain excellent concentration for extremely long periods of time in activities. Children are exceptionally confident communicators. They readily share their ideas, thoughts and feelings. Babies begin to communicate through gestures, expressions and single words, and older children demonstrate phenomenal skills in linking letters to their sounds, write their own name and solve simple mathematical problems with great aptitude. Children achieve a tremendous foundation for their future learning, including their eventual move to school.
