as they develop their understanding of and empathy for others. Over 3,000 buns were made over a week as part of a 'bakeathon' for a children's charity to raise money.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff, including the most recently recruited, are very secure about the procedures to be followed should they have a concern regarding a child's welfare. The manager has a well-embedded, robust policy in place for staff recruitment and induction. As a result, staff have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities within the nursery. Staff turnover is very low. This provides a high level of continuity for all children and their families. The manager supports staff extremely well through supervisions, regular meetings and training. This ensures that staff continue to develop their already excellent skills. The setting has recently introduced sharing best practice observations, which further enhances the skills and expertise of the well-qualified staff team.

recognises that this will promote children's learning and development to an even higher level.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff implement highly effective systems to record and evaluate children's progress. Detailed observations expertly capture and target the next steps for individual children's learning. Children greatly benefit from staff who are highly supportive. For example, staff ask thoughtful questions to skilfully extend children's understanding and vocabulary during activities. Staff plan an extensive range of stimulating and purposeful activities to engage younger children's curiosity. For example, younger children delight in popping bubbles as they jump and move to catch them in mid-air. Older children examine frozen water and listen with high levels of interest to the crunch of the snow under their feet while in the outdoors.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are empowered to be highly independent. Younger children feed themselves and initiate their own play. Older children serve themselves at mealtimes and take responsibility for contributing to the consistently high standards of hygiene practice. For example, older children take responsibility in tidying up and clearing their plates at mealtimes. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They benefit from high praise and encouragement from staff who are exceedingly positive role models. Children benefit from visitors to the setting. They learn to understand the role of people who help us, such as the police and ambulance services, and thoroughly enjoy having the opportunity to talk to them. Children become aware of the wider world as they visit the local shops and venues and explore a broad range of festivals throughout the year.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are extremely well prepared for the next stage in their learning, such as starting school. As a result, transitions are highly successful. Children are extremely confident and settled, with a strong sense of belonging. They clearly demonstrate their motivation and eagerness to learn. Children begin to recognise their own name and spell out the letters. Older children have an excellent understanding of mathematical language as staff expertly introduce shape, space, measure and counting into daily routines.
