This provision is good

n Leaders and management passionately share their vision for the nursery with staff. They reflect regularly on the experiences they provide and consider the views of parents and children when planning future changes. n Staff have an impressive understanding of how children learn best. They skilfully use their meticulous assessments to plan, precisely, the next steps in each child's learning and development. Consequently, all children make excellent progress from the time they start. n Staff act as playful partners in children's learning. They skilfully follow children's developing interests, supporting them and extending their learning at every opportunity to provide excellent levels of challenge. n The environment is highly stimulating and attractive. It is exceptionally well organised and significantly enhances children's learning. Children access an excellent range of resources indoors and outdoors, which promotes all aspects of their play and learning

very successfully. n Staff use a variety of ways to engage and involve parents in all areas of the nursery. For example, they provide parents with regular updates on their child's achievements and share ideas for parents to build on their child's learning at home. n Effective partnerships with a range of other professionals help to identify children's individual needs quickly and ensure they are well met. n Recently enhanced strategies to monitor staff more precisely in their role have not yet been fully embedded to help to ensure that the practice of all staff is consistently at the highest level.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders and managers are determined in their drive to offer early years provision of the highest quality. A recent detailed review of security, risk assessment and staff deployment has been undertaken to ensure that children are well protected at all times. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. They understand the procedures to follow should they need to refer any concerns to the relevant agencies.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are full of fun and enthusiasm and this is imitated by children, who are totally absorbed in their play and learning. Staff skilfully support children to develop their physical, social and communication skills exceptionally well. Babies and toddlers have a wonderful time as they explore sand, water and 'treasure baskets'. This helps them learn as they use their senses and enhances their natural sense of curiosity. Toddlers are very determined and work together, helping each other to solve simple problems. For example, children as young as two years of age help each other to work out how best to fill a bucket from the outside tap. Staff provide an extremely broad range of activities to encourage children to read and write, both indoors and outdoors. Toddlers are fascinated by the marks their fingers make in sand and are superbly supported by staff to begin to recognise and form the letters of their name. Older children confidently use

mathematical skills in their play. For example, they use rulers to measure and compare the length of pretend bones. They record their measurements and compare them to the x-ray pictures of real bones on a light box.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop warm relationships with the caring staff. Staff encourage children to recognise and praise the good behaviour of others. For example, children choose who they believe deserves to win a daily good behaviour award and explain their reasons. Staff ensure that the views and ideas of children are considered. For example, older children are asked to 'vote' on which story they would most like to share with staff. Staff understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Children have daily opportunities for fresh air and physical play outside. Staff provide a range of nutritious meals and snacks and encourage children to be independent at mealtimes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly motivated and eager to explore, investigate and enquire. They eagerly embrace challenges and enjoy simple problem solving. Children make rapid progress from their starting points. Staff swiftly recognise and address any developing gaps in children's learning to help to ensure that they are exceptionally well prepared for school or the next stage in their learning.
