p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand procedures to protect children from harm and have clear guidelines to follow in the event that there is a concern about a child's welfare. The excellent implementation of vigorous procedures for staff recruitment, induction and supervision also ensures children's safety. Staff regularly safety assess all areas to ensure children can explore in a safe and secure environment. Leaders set very high expectations. They inspire staff to continuously check and look at ways to improve the provision, such as new resources that children particularly like. Leaders and staff take account of the views of children, parents and outside professionals when identifying areas to improve. They have made several positive changes. For example, they have installed an intercom system to the main gate and purchased new equipment. Staff are highly qualified and have regular, high-quality opportunities to develop their expertise.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use a wide range of information to plan high-quality activities that meet children's interests and develop their basic skills extremely well. Children have plenty of time to develop their creative skills. For example, they enjoy making crowns where they show skill and creativity in their own designs. Children develop excellent communication skills and extend their vocabulary as staff challenge them to think critically. For example, they construct and write sentences to poems. They are introduced to new words and know where they fit in a simple sentence. Children benefit by learning about the diversity and backgrounds of others represented in the wider community.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are highly skilled and have a superb understanding of each child's needs. The setting provides exceptional arrangements to care for children and support their physical and emotional well-being. Children are emotionally very secure and confident. For example, children eagerly arrive, settle quickly, and choose from a wide range of activities and resources. Furthermore, they have access to areas where they can rest and relax comfortably, away from busier areas. Children's behaviour is excellent, although staff are seeking to refine systems to ensure all know how to maintain their very positive behaviour. Children have healthy snacks and learn about living healthily. For example, children enjoy planting herbs and vegetables. Staff support children to understand how to keep themselves safe, healthy and active through daily routines and activities.
