exceptional. The provision is carefully adapted to meet their individual needs. Managers and staff work incredibly hard with these children to ensure they benefit from targeted support. Any gaps in children's attainment are effectively addressed. n Partnership working is strong. Managers and staff work closely with parents and a range of professionals. They use varied methods to communicate two-way information about children's care and education to foster excellent continuity. n Managers have an overview of children's progress throughout the nursery. However, they do not yet make the best use of this in order to promote outstanding attainment for all different groups of children, including the most able. n Overall teaching is good. However, children do not consistently benefit from outstanding teaching throughout the nursery. There is scope for managers to extend staff's professional development and focus on further enhancing teaching skills.

n Self-evaluation is in place. However, managers do not always make the best use of this to reflect as well as possible on the overall quality of the provision. Therefore, they are currently unable to elevate all aspects of practice to the highest standard.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The nursery environment is clean, tidy and secure. Staff conduct daily risk assessment checks to ensure that the building, resources, toys and equipment are continually suitable for use. Managers and staff can identify potential indicators of child abuse, neglect and radicalisation. They know how to handle different types of concerns and fully understand the importance of acting without delay. This helps to protect children from different types of harm. Managers are highly experienced, and the majority of staff are well qualified. Managers supervise staff and meet with them on a regular basis to discuss their performance. Staff benefit from plenty of training opportunities to upskill, such as first aid, food hygiene and safeguarding. This has a particularly positive impact on the quality of care provided.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff routinely observe children and make assessments of their abilities. They identify children's key next steps in learning and plan activities according to their individual needs. This helps to promote children's development and foster good progress. The curriculum is broad. Staff provide a good balance of child-initiated and adult-led play. For example, children choose to play with small-world animals and characters. Staff help them to add resources and expand their games. Staff provide children with opportunities for messy play. They encourage children to experiment with the resources and pretend they are making magic potions. This helps to ignite children's imaginations and foster their creativity in different ways.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are highly sensitive to children's individual care needs and ensure these are met throughout the day. Staff teach children about the importance of living well, including healthy eating, taking exercise and adopting good hygiene regimes. Staff promote the simple nursery behaviour expectations throughout, including being kind. Children behave very well as they are calm, polite and respectful towards their teachers, each other and the environment. The nursery is fully inclusive. Staff find out about and value children's backgrounds, cultures and languages. They help them to celebrate their similarities and differences. This helps to boost children's self-confidence and self-esteem.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make at least good progress from where they started and those with SEND are particularly well supported to rapidly develop. Children make confident choices about what they want to do and manage their self-care needs independently with relative ease. Children communicate and express themselves in different ways. They also learn to listen and pay attention. Older children particularly delight in singing familiar songs in small groups. Children develop strong social skills. They share resources and play well with others. Older children relish the opportunity to help their teachers with small tasks. Older children develop good literacy and mathematical skills. They learn to recognise their own names as they self-register. They also enjoy number games where they learn to identify numbers, count and match quantities. Older children gain all the essential skills they need to move on to school successfully.
