capabilities and individual needs. This includes those with SEND. n Children show extremely high levels of engagement and motivation, both indoors and outdoors. Children can independently choose to play from a wealth of superb resources. This helps to provoke their imaginations, and to explore and investigate. n The nursery environment is spotlessly clean. Children show high levels of independence in self-care skills. They wash their hands independently before snacks and meals. n Staff provide parents with detailed progress summaries about their children, and invite them to attend progress meetings.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Children's safety is given the highest priority. Staff have a thorough understanding of their responsibilities to protect children. Their knowledge of safeguarding matters is tested frequently at supervision and team meetings. Furthermore, staff study serious case reviews to gain a deeper understanding of child protection. Managers use supervision meetings to help staff to reflect on their teaching skills. They identify what went well and what can be improved. Staff access research that can help them to develop even further. The management team recognises the importance of continuing to analyse information about groups of children to ensure the outstanding success of all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff allow children opportunities to lead their own learning, and help them to learn about subjects that they may never otherwise encounter. For example, the children learn about the first man on the moon. Their recall is outstanding. A child tells a visitor, 'He said, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".' Staff foster children's love of books. They make reading and story time exciting and give children ample time to explore books. For example, in the toddler room staff create inspirational story baskets and encourage children to use toys and objects to bring books to life. Staff provide excellent support and inclusive practices for children with SEND. For example, staff use sign language to aid communication and value every small step these children make in their learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff work exceptionally well with parents to meet children's settling-in needs. The provider offers home visits and extended visits to the nursery before children start. Children of all ages settle quickly and develop strong bonds with the people who care for them. Staff working with the youngest children provide care and warmth in abundance. The nursery chef offers children a rich variety of tasty, wholesome cooked meals. Children relish opportunities to physically challenge themselves. They create an obstacle course, using a range of different resources, such as planks to jump over. Staff watching offer lots of encouragement and offer high praise when children clear the obstacles in one jump. Children develop an expert understanding of how to take risks safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Babies have an exceptionally strong desire to explore the environment and people around them. They confidently interact with and smile at new people. They watch with anticipation as staff sprinkle sand through a tiny strainer, before eagerly attempting to copy them. Toddlers' listening skills are well above average. Their attention during story- time is highly impressive. Older children are confident to ask visitors to the nursery about what they do. For example, they keenly ask questions of the community police support officer to increase their knowledge of his role. Pre-school children demonstrate excellent hand-to-eye coordination as they handle scissors with confidence and carefully thread needles in preparation for sewing. Children leave the nursery exceptionally confident and ready to start school.
