Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Leadership is inspirational. Reflective self-evaluation, stringent moderation processes and highly effective professional development opportunities help to maintain the highest possible levels of achievement for both staff and children. There is a continual drive to make further improvements, for example, to the extensive outdoor provision and build on children's love of being outside. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an excellent understanding of child protection and wider safeguarding issues. They know how to manage concerns about children or the conduct of an adult. Recruitment is robust and adult to child ratios are effectively maintained throughout the nursery. The deployment of staff is effective. In addition, health and safety procedures help to ensure children are kept safe and protected from harm. Parents are highly complimentary about the care and education their children receive. They trust staff implicitly and comment that

children are extremely happy, well settled and thoroughly enjoy their time in the nursery.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff complete high-quality observations and assessments of children's learning. They use children's interests and the identified next steps in their learning exceptionally well, to plan highly imaginative and interesting activities. For example, when children show a keen interest in hammering, staff introduce golf tees and a melon to support coordination and physical development. Staff support children's imagination and understanding of real life experiences. For example, children play doctors and nurses using real props, such as a stethoscope and blood pressure pump. These further enrich children's learning and extend their understanding of health and well-being. Children immerse themselves in their imaginings as they bake cakes in the mud in the outdoors. They sit in the role-play area playing shop and confidently recall their recent visit to the supermarket to buy food.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The well-qualified staff place a strong emphasis on promoting children's independence and self-care skills linked to home. They use children's interest well to teach them how to manage risk. For example, when bathing a doll staff talk to children about sitting in the bath so that they do not slip. Children's understanding of managing their self-care is exceptionally reinforced while introducing oral hygiene. Staff are skilled at teaching children how to share and take turns and introduce problem solving and mathematics when introducing two toothbrushes and three dolls. This results in purposeful interactions between staff and children. Staff warmly welcome children on arrival so they feel happy and safe. In addition, transition processes meet the needs of the children and enable them to settle with ease in their new room and when moving on to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those with SEND and those who receive additional funding, make excellent progress given their starting points. Children are highly motivated learners and are eager to explore their environment and discover new things. They are extremely confident, develop social skills and acquire the skills and dispositions ready for school.
