This provision is outstanding

n The manager and her deputy are absolutely passionate about providing the highest quality learning and support for all the children in their care. They have an extremely clear vision for the future development of the nursery, which is fully shared by the well-qualified staff and enthusiastic and experienced board of trustees. n Staff are excellent role models. Children behave very well and are tolerant, kind and understanding towards others. The staff provide very effective support to children who find it difficult to manage their emotions. n Children make excellent progress throughout their time in the nursery. Staff make very well planned use of additional funding to reduce any differences in children's achievement and support them all to fulfil their potential. The staff's high levels of professional training and experience contribute significantly to the progress made by all groups of learners, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities

(SEND). n The skilled staff create an exceptionally warm, stimulating and safe environment to support children's learning.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a very thorough knowledge of how to keep children safe and secure. They take full advantage of training opportunities to deepen and develop their skills in child protection, including potential influences of extremist attitudes. Staff keep detailed records of any concerns and know precisely how and when to report them. Procedures to develop staff performance are based on thorough analysis of the quality of teaching and its impact on children's achievement. The manager, with strong support from the trustees, ensures that staff have full access to frequent training opportunities and gives them the space and time to implement new ideas. This has, for example, a very positive impact on curriculum development and the teaching of children with SEND. There are excellent systems to gather the views of parents and involve them in supporting and improving provision. The nursery provides training for parents on a

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff rigorously assess children's ongoing achievement to plan activities to build on and broaden children's interests and knowledge. For example, staff use children's love of vehicles to engage them in large construction projects, using random objects around the playground to build cars and buses to take their friends on a picnic. Children discuss how they will join the different shapes, how much longer or taller they can make the cars and where they are going to go to. Staff consistently promote high levels of communication, for example, through modelling new words and phrases and asking open-ended questions. Resources are stimulating and imaginative. For example, children use torches and cameras to search for objects around the classroom or hunt for the dinosaurs hidden around the garden. Staff make excellent use of sign language and picture charts and timetables to further enhance children's communication skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are helped to be gentle and thoughtful to each other. They learn how to care for animals, on regular farm visits or when looking after Nemo the fish and other pets. Children follow instructions very well and learn to stay safe in different situations. For example, they learn about road safety and stranger danger through role play, story activities and visits from the police and other emergency services. Staff strongly promote safe use of the internet and other experiences of modern technology. Children's awareness of healthy living is fully encouraged. Children tunefully sing a range of songs to help them tidy, line up and wash their hands.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are extremely well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including starting school. The staff work closely with other settings to support children's future learning, to ensure a smooth transition. Children learn to speak clearly and share their ideas. They build a very good knowledge of progressively more challenging stories, rhymes and songs, which are shared with parents. Staff strongly promote children's mathematical knowledge through opportunities for counting, measuring and ordering objects throughout the day.
