Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Managers use excellent ongoing self-evaluation, involving staff and parents to bring about targeted improvements. They monitor the education programmes, staff's practice and children's progress robustly. They have an expert understanding of the needs of children, with extra support made available and changes made as required. For example, parents report about how outdoor areas have been adapted in response to their feedback. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders implement robust recruitment procedures to check staff's suitability to work with children. Staff are highly knowledgeable about how to spot signs of potential neglect and abuse and keep children safe. Staff work very well together and support each other's practice. Leaders intend to extend these arrangements to maintain excellent standards. The nursery has an outstanding approach to celebrating cultural diversity and promoting an inclusive environment for all.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use their expert knowledge of children's interests and development to plan learning opportunities that fully engage and motivate children. Babies enjoy sensory experiences using cornflour and remain highly engaged with the activity. Staff make highly effective use of children's chosen play by encouraging their thinking and speaking skills. For example, older children playing with sand are asked to describe what they are making. The children suggest different types of food that they want the staff member to eat. This provides an opportunity for much laughter and discussion about healthier food options. In the toddler room, children play a version of food bingo where they select different toy food from across all food groups. The staff encourage children to describe colours, each item of food and the group that each belongs to.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is exemplary. They play happily together, showing strong personal skills and self-esteem. Children are confident as they choose their own toys. They are capable at managing their own needs, including showing very good hygiene routines. Children have extremely caring relationships with their key person. This offers a secure base from which children learn and develop independence. Staff find out about children's care routines prior to their start at nursery and seamlessly integrate this information into their routine. This supports children's emotional well-being extraordinarily well. New babies demonstrate excellent relationships with staff and give them very good eye contact.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly motivated and use good manners. Younger children confidently help themselves to nutritious food, pour water and describe what they like. They are excellent at sharing and taking turns. Children are confident and form friendships with others quickly. They show a strong sense of belonging and are eager to have a go and take part in activities. Children enthusiastically participate in the range of enjoyable activities to promote their skills in moving and handling, mathematics and early literacy.
