Staff have an excellent understanding of the procedures to follow to protect children if they have any concerns for their welfare. Leaders and managers make sure staff carry out the highly detailed risk assessments to provide children with a safe learning environment. Leaders and managers use robust recruitment procedures. For example, managers review all staff's suitability once a month to make sure nothing has changed since their last checks. Managers monitor children's progress extremely effectively. Staff have an excellent partnership with other professionals involved in children's care. They work together exceptionally well to help children to make the best progress in learning they can.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff complete high quality assessments to track children's development. Staff quickly identify any gaps in their progress and plan precisely to reduce them rapidly. Staff work extremely well with parents. For example, staff encourage parents to make excellent use of the parent books to share children's achievements at home. Staff use this information to inform the high quality planning for each child. Children are excellent communicators. For example, staff ask highly effective questions to help children develop their emerging language. Staff take full account of the learning styles of different groups of children and plan the availability of resources carefully to engage them in their learning. For example, boys excitedly explored and investigated different ways to build with boxes and staff skilfully encouraged them to sort by size, count and make calculations. This helped to build on their excellent mathematical skills. Staff skilfully help children to develop excellent

Staff sit with children and help them reflect on their learning and talk about the importance of healthy eating. Staff talk to children in great detail to help them understand how to use tools and equipment safely. Children remind staff that they must wear safety googles, for example, when using saws, hammers and nails to make a plane.
