This provision is outstanding

n The management team provides staff with high-quality support and guidance. This motivates staff to deliver excellent teaching and care for the children. Children and their families benefit greatly from this. n Staff plan highly effective activities that are based on precise observations and assessments of children's learning. The activities are further enriched through a wide variety of extracurricular activities, such as music and art sessions. As a result, children make very good progress from their starting points. n Staff are very warm and caring practitioners. This helps them to develop superb relationships with the children and their families. Children, including babies, gain high levels of emotional and physical well-being. n The management team follows rigorous recruitment and vetting procedures to help check the suitability of all staff. This means children are only looked after by staff who

are suitable and capable to do so. n Staff place a very strong emphasis on keeping children safe. For example, they complete thorough checks of the premises, including outings, to minimise hazards to children. Staff deployment is carefully planned throughout the day to help keep children safe.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The management team is highly proactive in evaluating the provision to ensure that it maintains rapid and continuous improvements for the children. For example, recent changes to the daily routines, such as at mealtimes, have significantly raised children's independence skills. Parents are extremely complimentary of the nursery. They are particularly impressed with the procedures that staff follow to manage children's behaviour and their safety. The management team plans to enhance the information shared with parents to achieve the highest levels of continuity in children's care and learning. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff receive thorough training to ensure that they are extremely confident in their response to protect children from harm. They have a full understanding of their roles and responsibilities, including how to report any concerns to relevant agencies.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Following training, staff have significantly increased the accuracy of children's assessments. This enables them to very quickly identify and close any gaps in children's learning. For example, when staff notice that babies are not too keen to use all of their senses, they provide babies with a greater range of activities to fully engage them. As a result, babies develop high levels of enthusiasm for exploratory and investigative activities. Staff create many opportunities to extend children's literacy and language skills. Very young children, for example, learn a wide range of descriptive words to express their thoughts and ideas. Staff work very closely with specialist teachers, for example, to develop children's appreciation of different types of music. Children sing and dance excitedly to familiar tunes and join in with the actions. They have a wonderful time and ask for 'more' singing to show their great enjoyment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are highly skilful at stimulating children's creativity and imagination. For example, during an art session, they engage children very successfully and keep them highly motivated to learn. Children have plenty of time to pursue their creative ideas, which helps to raise their self-confidence. Staff make great efforts to ensure children have fresh air and exercise daily to support their growth and development. They organise superb opportunities for children to explore the world around them. This develops and extends children's understanding of similarities and differences between themselves and others. Children's behaviour is excellent. They show respect for others and build very strong friendships with their peers.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children benefit greatly from the wealth of opportunities to hear and learn about other languages. This results in children, particularly older boys, gaining impressive knowledge of words and phrases, such as in Spanish. Children's counting and understanding of simple addition and subtraction problems are superb. As an example, during a group discussion, one of the older children works out quickly that 'not all of us will fit' in a car. Children suggest other types of transport to show their excellent mathematical skills. All children are exceptionally well prepared for their future learning, including school.
