Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a comprehensive understanding of the procedures to follow if they have a concern about a child. They carry out rigorous risk assessments and the premises are maintained to a very high standard. This helps to keep children safe from harm. Robust recruitment measures are implemented well, along with policies and procedures supporting these. The manager carries out regular and purposeful appraisals of staff. This helps to ensure that the excellent staff team shares her vision, determination and passion. Focused training helps staff to refine their skills to achieve a very consistent standard across the team. Knowledge gained from courses that promotes children's listening and attention and speech and language is effectively implemented to an exemplary level.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The well-qualified staff are highly knowledgeable about children's individual needs and current stage of development. Sharply focused high-quality planning helps all children to make excellent progress in their learning. Throughout activities there is a real buzz of communication between children and staff. Staff ask questions, such as, 'I wonder?' and 'How did that happen?' encouraging children to think and reason things out for themselves. Children aged two years explore different textures. Staff ask them 'What do they feel like?' and introduce new words to promote children's growing vocabulary. At group times staff use sign language to encourage all children to communicate. Children develop a real appreciation for books. Staff read to children and ask them about what is happening in the story. Children remember key refrains and enthusiastically join in. They learn about words that rhyme as they listen carefully.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

There is an exciting, stimulating, very welcoming and well-resourced environment that helps to develop children's learning. Children behave exceptionally well. They learn through the expert guidance of staff how to help each other and take turns during their play. Children are supported to attend to their own personal needs and they learn very good independence skills. At snack time they help to prepare the fruit. They learn about where different foods come from as they plant various vegetables. Children develop physical skills as they enthusiastically explore the wide range of resources outdoors. Staff are extremely skilled at teaching children about diversity, the world around them and the local community. This helps children to have an excellent understanding about similarities and differences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children achieve extremely well. Challenging experiences provide children with excellent opportunities to explore resources, develop their own ideas, listen and concentrate. This helps children to be highly motivated to join in and they are very well supported to be ready for the next stages in their learning, including the move to school.
