This provision is outstanding

 Teaching is outstanding. Well-qualified and passionate staff provide a wide range of activities, which engage and motivate the children. Children are eager to learn and confident to express their opinions. For example, staff use skilful questioning techniques to encourage children to think for themselves.  The manager and her team are highly reflective and fully committed to driving improvement. They implement highly effective measures to evaluate the strengths of the pre-school and areas for development. They involve parents and children in this process and implement their suggestions to make positive changes.  Partnerships with parents are exemplary. Parents speak highly of the staff, who keep them fully informed about their children's learning and development. Staff help parents to support their children's learning, for example, by running regular workshops and providing activities that they can enjoy together at home.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The manager fully meets all requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. There are robust recruitment procedures in place to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. The manager has established excellent methods for monitoring teaching practice. She encourages the highly experienced staff team to attend further training and improve their qualifications. Staff share information gained from training to inspire each other and make further improvements, which continually enhances children's learning. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an excellent knowledge of safeguarding procedures and ensure that they keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff gather information about children's development from parents before children start at the pre-school. They use accurate observations and assessments of children effectively, for example, by putting individual learning plans in place, which ensures exceptional learning outcomes. Staff monitor children's progress from their starting points and identify any gaps in their learning; although, processes for monitoring more precisely the variations in some children's learning are still ongoing. Staff are skilled at supporting children with additional needs, including how to secure additional help from other professionals, when necessary. They support children who are learning English as an additional language extremely well. Staff promote children's communication skills exceptionally well. For example, they make full use of the number of languages they speak to foster children's learning opportunities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are highly skilled in promoting children's social skills. Children are exceptionally confident and self-assured due to the superb support they receive. Staff successfully support children's understanding of how to keep themselves safe, for example, when using the stairs. They teach them to manage risk through activities, such as cutting up their own food and exploring different ways of using climbing equipment. Staff teach children how to keep themselves healthy. For example, children grow and tend vegetables, which they harvest. Staff provide nutritious snacks and meals, and children enjoy physical exercise, indoors and outdoors in the fresh air. Staff support children to become independent. For example, children learn to wash their hands, and help themselves to food and drink at lunchtime. Staff successfully prepare children for changes in their lives. For example, they invite teachers from local schools to meet children in the

nursery in order to support their move to primary school.
