This provision is outstanding

 Staff's quality of teaching is consistently high. Consequently, children are highly motivated to learn and make extremely good progress across the seven areas of learning.  Children thrive in the stimulating and nurturing environment. They are confident, well motivated and are well prepared for their future learning, including their move to school.  Home visits help staff to establish children's starting points, and effective assessments enable them to identify appropriate next steps for their learning.  Staff are highly skilled and sensitive in helping children to form secure emotional attachments. As a result, children's emotional well-being is very well met. Children are developing independence and their behaviour is exceptional.  Parents are actively involved with their children's learning. Staff foster strong and meaningful partnerships with parents and other professionals, and excellent two-way

who attend. This is outstanding

Teaching is outstanding because the highly qualified staff team have an excellent understanding of the ways in which children learn and develop. They plan a superb range of activities based around their current interests, in order to extend their learning. Staff use limitless opportunities to extend children's learning, which is supported by precise and sharply focused planning, observation and assessment. Children have numerous opportunities to develop their literacy skills and practise their early writing, such as writing recognisable letters and numbers on the artwork they produce. Children develop essential skills for the future as they are inquisitive, ask questions and solve problems. This helps children to prepare for the next stage in their learning. Children are extremely confident communicators who express themselves exceptionally well. However, there is a lack of real items in the role-play area for children to use to enhance their imaginative play

outstanding

Staff take time to get to know each child and their family exceptionally well. Children feel happy, safe and secure; this is reflected in their confidence and their motivation to learn. Staff praise good behaviour, and children's achievements and perseverance are celebrated. Children play happily and cooperatively in the welcoming and safe environment. Children's curiosity for learning is actively promoted outdoors as staff provide a wonderful range of innovative experiences and resources that develop their physical and exploration skills, such as forest school activities and visits to the sensory garden. Staff's teaching is highly successful in developing children's understanding of a safe and healthy lifestyle. Children regularly practise fire drills and they are encouraged to identify potential hazards before visiting the pond area to look at tadpoles and newts. This level of responsibility begins to prepare children well for school and strengthens their

understanding of how to keep themselves safe.

provision is outstanding

Leadership and management of the setting are outstanding. The manager has an excellent understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Highly comprehensive safeguarding policies and procedures are effectively implemented by all staff. The manager leads an enthusiastic staff team who are committed to promoting the best outcomes for children. The manager carries out regular supervision and appraisal meetings with the staff to monitor their performance and assess if there are any areas for training or the need for extra support. Staff regularly meet together to discuss and track children's progress. This prompts further improvements in provision and ensures challenging targets are set, which has a positive impact on teaching and learning. Peer observations are undertaken, which helps staff to share their knowledge, skills and expertise. This ultimately enhances the superb quality of the teaching and learning that
