Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is outstanding • Staff implement and use the provider's robust policies, procedures and risk assessments to fully support children's health, safety and well-being. Staff are extremely aware of the importance of helping children make decisions to inform their own safety. For example, staff designate children to be 'responsible helpers', who competently help to risk assess safety indoors and outdoors.

• The inspirational manager is dedicated to her role and makes a significant impact to drive forward improvement. Since the last inspection, proactive staff have positively reflected on all aspects of practice and the environment to enhance outcomes for children. Staff ...are particularly passionate about ensuring the highest level of achievement for all children attending.

Children make rapid progress. • Enthusiastic staff have an excellent knowledge of children's interests. They plan exceptionally well to ensure that children build on these through rich and varied activities that engage them and help them to be motivated to learn.

For example, inquisitive children explore 'curiosity' cases. They select vintage or unusual objects that are unfamiliar to them. Children are incredibly confident to find out more or make suggestions about what these things are.

• Systems for assessing children's progress are much improved since the last inspection. Staff confidently assess children's achievements and plan precisely for their next steps. The senior management team uses extensive, accurate practice to monitor the quality of all children's learning to ensure they reach their potential.

• Children are thoughtful and respectful of others. Their behaviour is exceptionally positive at all times. Children have incredibly secure emotional bonds with staff and are very happy to attend nursery.
