Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The managers have an excellent understanding of their role to safeguard and protect children. They ensure all staff are trained and know how to report any concerns they may have. In addition, managers implement a robust recruitment process to ensure they recruit suitable staff to work with the children. Staff are highly motivated and passionate about their role. They maintain their high quality practices as they receive regular opportunities to discuss their training needs and aspects of their professional development they want to improve. The manager makes excellent use of the self-evaluation process to improve the provision as she takes into consideration feedback from parents, children and staff. For example, they set up a children's council to teach the children about democracy and encourage them to share their views and feedback. The manager has addressed the recommendation from their previous inspection. The layout of

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide a wide range of stimulating and exciting activities for children to explore and enjoy. Children have many opportunities to develop their creative and imaginative skills exceptionally well. For example, staff skilfully use creative activities to extend children's awareness of diversity and their understanding of the world. Children make very good use of a range of creative materials to design their own poppy collage for Remembrance Day. Children enjoy taking part in conversations and talking about what they are doing with their friends and staff. However, occasionally staff do not always organise group activities to keep the younger children fully engaged. Children have excellent opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, staff provide an interesting and physically challenging range of play equipment outside. Children enjoy planting and growing fruits and vegetables. Staff further extend children's interest in the local community. For

Children settle exceptionally well due to the excellent settling-in procedure and the very close relationship between staff and their parents. Staff work very well together and are excellent role models for the children. Staff manage children's behaviour very well. Children develop positive attitudes and social skills. They listen very well, and show respect, kindness and play cooperatively together. The outdoor area provides opportunity for physical play and space to run around. Robust health and safety checks ensure the environment is safe for the children to explore and learn.
