Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. All staff complete safeguarding training and have a highly secure understanding of child protection procedures. They know who to contact if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The inspirational manager works highly effectively with the dedicated and professional staff team. Staff practice is well supported through ongoing assessments, meetings and appraisals. They attend regular training to continually develop their skills. Staff have exceptional awareness of children's interests and work closely with parents to identify and meet children's individual needs. Highly comprehensive monitoring of children's progress, including analysis of different groups of children, enables staff to quickly identify and address any gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children have a wonderful time engaging in activities which stem from their interests. They show high levels of curiosity as they study the life cycles of frogs and chickens. Staff continually build on children's interests; for example, they take children to a nature area at the local school. Children become highly absorbed as they use magnifying glasses to explore the pond. They show great excitement when they find frog spawn. Children become engrossed watching the chickens, showing excitement as they see the freshly laid eggs. Inspiring staff make the most of everyday situations to reinforce children's learning. For example, they ask meaningful questions about things that children observe on outings. They encourage children to look at road signs. Children excitedly point out the letters they recognise and link these to letters in their names. Children who speak English as an additional language have frequent opportunities to use the languages they speak at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are highly secure in this nurturing environment. An extensive range of high quality resources and equipment is available to meet their individual needs. Children behave particularly well. For example, they understand routines and what is expected of them. Children receive lots of praise and encouragement and display high levels of self- esteem. Children have excellent opportunities to develop healthy lifestyles. For example, they participate in planting activities and a variety of physical play. Children have superb opportunities to find out about the community and others beyond their own experiences. They receive visits from people in the local community and celebrate cultural festivals. For example, they learn about Easter and meet with an ordained member of a church.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children are making rapid progress in relation to their starting points. Children are very happy and show high levels of confidence and independence. They are highly motivated and exceptionally well prepared for their next stage in learning and move to school.
