Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

They give top priority to training staff and provide exceptional support for staff's professional development. The staff team have regular meetings with the managers to identify aspects of their practice to further develop and access relevant training courses. This significantly contributes to the outstanding quality of teaching and the continuous improvements made. For example, staff have recently introduced new ideas to further develop children's excellent outdoor learning. The pre-school has excellent links with local schools. The staff arrange visits with teachers and encourage information sharing to support children's move. Safeguarding is effective. All staff attend safeguarding training and have an excellent understanding of how to deal with any child protection concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide an exceptionally exciting learning environment where children are fully engaged and motivated in their play. Staff plan extremely stimulating and challenging activities that relate directly to the interests and specific learning needs of each child. For example, younger children thoroughly enjoy exploring the different textures of natural objects. Staff have an outstanding knowledge of the children. They use regular and detailed observations of children's learning to precisely assess their progress. Staff consistently extend children's language and skilfully ask questions that encourage them to think and work things out. For example, while reading a story they challenge children to identify and describe different types of healthy food.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children consistently receive praise and encouragement throughout their play and take great pride in their achievements. They show excellent motivation in their learning and work extremely well together. For example, they actively join in with daily drama and music sessions. The extremely well-planned and stimulating environment encourages children to choose and explore independently, both indoors and outdoors. For example, children learn to dress themselves for the garden and pour their own drinks, with staff support. On occasion, staff do not fully encourage younger children to further develop their already excellent levels of independence, in managing everyday tasks by themselves. There are outstanding physical challenges outdoors and children thoroughly enjoy playing and exercising with bicycles and on climbing equipment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make excellent progress in their learning in relation to their starting points. Children learn strong maths, communication and physical skills and socialise extremely well. They gain the confidence and skills needed for their next stages in learning.
