Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are extremely clear about the procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child in their care. They attend a significant amount of training related to safeguarding. For example, all room leaders have attended advanced safeguarding training and safeguarding is included in regular staff meetings and supervisions. It is evident that the whole staff team is very committed to making sure children achieve at the highest level. Highly developed ways of planning are in place, taking account of each child's individual needs and specific interests. The excellent recording of the quality of teaching and children's progress ensure that all achievements are outstanding. The management team and staff critically evaluate their practice, access a vast amount of training and continue to do this to maintain excellent outcomes for children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children make excellent progress in their learning. Staff very successfully build on what children already know and can do and their new interests, to extend their skills and understanding. For example, when children excitedly explain how they love to dress up as a pirate, staff extend the planning to accommodate the children's developing interests. All children enjoy circle time, older ones identify different numbers that have been hidden and match them up. This helps promote early number recognition. Babies get very excited as they develop their sensory skills in the grated cauliflower and broccoli, they are eager to scoop it up and place it into bowls. Staff intuitively repeat early speech sounds back to babies as they pick up the different farm animals and show them to the staff. All children thrive and make consistently outstanding progress in their learning and development, as the nursery provides an exceptionally stimulating well-

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

An extremely strong key-person system is in place. Staff find out about children's personalities, interests and ways in which they engage with other children. They know children incredibly well and are extremely nurturing in their care. Children settle exceptionally quickly and form very close relationships with all staff. All children have excellent opportunities to develop their physical skills. They have regular access to excellently resourced outdoor areas. For example, children enjoy weekly trips to a forest school, as well as accessing the nursery forest area. Children excitedly wait to go outside where they help plant vegetables and use their imagination as they pretend the log is their own train. Meal times are exceptionally sociable, older children talk about their day and help to lay the table.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children thrive in the stimulating and inclusive environment. Children show high levels of pride in their work and respond very positively to praise from staff. Children learn the skills they need for their future learning and in readiness for school. Exceptional intervention is sought for children who are funded so they get the highest level of support for their individual needs.
