Safeguarding is effective. Arrangements to protect children from abuse are robust. Staff complete relevant training and, as a result, they have excellent awareness of what to do if they have a welfare concern about a child. Leaders have a clear vision that encompasses high standards of excellence on what children can achieve. There is a constant drive for continual improvement where the views of various parties are considered. Recruitment of staff is robust and thorough, helping to ensure safer recruitment and high-quality teaching. Performance management is effective, and leaders consistently support staff to develop their skills and knowledge through ongoing professional development that is regularly monitored. The manager has made excellent improvement from the last inspection report, and has identified ways to further strengthen the support for parents to enrich children's learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The quality of teaching is excellent and inspiring. Children are offered an in-depth, rich, varied and broad curriculum. Planning is effective and supports children's next steps. Children learn about the importance of being responsible. For example, they are given key roles to manage their environment, to keep this safe and respectful. Staff have extended children's knowledge by introducing various artists that have inspired and motivated children to appreciate art through painting. For example, children focus on exploring colours by painting real flowers on a canvas frame and demonstrate a sense of achievement when their painting is displayed. Staff demonstrate enthusiasm when exploring new ideas that help to extend and stretch children's thinking and imagination. For example, they prepare children for the carnival. Children use their imaginations when dressing themselves and their teacher in colourful clothes. They also role play as

builders, where they work together to produce a building using blocks and making their own cement. Assessment of children's progress is thorough and consistent. Staff encourage parents' involvement to help raise achievement.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are exemplary role models. Children can demonstrate high levels of cooperation and positive engagement with peers and adults. They are provided with key responsibilities in keeping the outdoor space safe and in managing risks. Staff explore the importance of children expressing their feelings as well as developing positive self- esteem. Transition from home to nursery and from nursery to school is effective. With supportive staff, children are helped to become familiar with their new environment and gain a sense of emotional security. Staff are providing excellent opportunities for children to learn about healthy eating and engaging in physical exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress and are well prepared for their future learning. Staff provide a stimulating and thriving learning environment where children can confidently excel and achieve.
