Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The management team prioritises children's safety and welfare and ensures all staff are aware of their safeguarding responsibilities. They use safeguarding quizzes to baseline staff's knowledge and identify their training needs. This ensures that all staff thoroughly understand reporting procedures. The management team has implemented comprehensive recruitment procedures and robust policies are in place to monitor the suitability of staff. Self-evaluation is rigorous and accurate and involves parents, to identify priorities for continued improvement. For example, the manager identifies a need to develop a quieter area during group time so that children can extend their attention. The management team has extremely high expectations for staff and provides excellent support and supervision that enhances their already outstanding teaching.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff offer children an exemplary range of activities that enthuses and excites them. Every learning opportunity is maximised. The highly qualified staff team are skilful teachers. They help children to learn about cause and effect during a science activity. Children uncover hidden dinosaurs inside frozen eggs made by staff. They talk about how they can rescue the dinosaurs and discuss ways they can melt the ice. Staff ask thought-provoking questions to extend children's thinking and provide resources to test their ideas. They listen intently to what children have to say. Staff encourage children to take turns when speaking and listen to each other. This encourages good conversation and communication skills. Children are consistently absorbed in their learning. They are highly motivated, curious and confident learners.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children develop superb social skills. Staff help children to discover who they are as individuals and develop the utmost respect for themselves and others. Children are exceptionally well behaved. They are helpful and kind to each other. Staff are excellent role models for children. They provide clear boundaries and help children to understand how to keep themselves safe. Children are part of the risk assessment procedure. They use clipboards with photographs of the environment to carry out safety checks. This helps children to manage and recognise risks independently. Staff ensure that the home routines of children are known, valued and followed through their excellent partnerships with parents. Children navigate around the setting with ease and self-assurance and demonstrate a very strong sense of belonging.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make extremely good progress in their learning. Children with SEND are extremely well supported. Extra funding is used to provide one-to-one support to extend children's learning and help them to develop the skills they need for their future learning, including school. Children have many opportunities to explore mathematics. They very adeptly learn how to use a tape measure. Children take turns to measure each other and different items in the nursery. They use mathematical language spontaneously and explore different mathematical concepts.
