p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The highly motivated managers have made significant improvements since the last inspection. For example, partnerships with parents have improved significantly. Staff share children's next steps in learning with parents more regularly and involve them in their children's learning at every opportunity. This helps to provide excellent consistency for children. Safeguarding is effective. Recruitment procedures are rigorous, and staff are extremely knowledgeable about child protection and the actions to take if they have any concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff complete highly accurate monitoring of children's progress and identify any weak areas very quickly. They support children's communication and language skills exceptionally well. For example, they repeat words for young babies and skilfully question older children to help them think. Staff are particularly good at providing support to enrich children's experiences. For example, children who speak English as an additional language are supported exceptionally well as some staff speak their home languages. In addition, staff use visual clues and sign language to communicate with them. Children flourish as they experiment with an abundance of high-quality educational resources. They explore a variety of writing materials and learn about differences in society and the world around them. Children have very good opportunities to learn about nature, however, the managers have identified this as an area they wish to develop further.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children enjoy very positive attachments with staff. Staff have an excellent knowledge of children's preferences and interests. For example, parents share information extremely well before children start. This enables staff to create highly effective plans for children from the outset. Children are highly confident to support others. For example, older children help younger children to learn how to put on their coats. Children gain a very good awareness of keeping themselves safe. For instance, during imaginative play, staff engage in conversations with children about using the oven carefully. Staff include healthy lifestyles in their planning. For example, children enjoy an excellent range of nutritious foods and engage in many activities to support their physical well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress. Both younger and older children are exceptionally confident and independent, and develop a caring and respectful manner towards others. Children develop many skills in preparation for school. For example, they learn to dress themselves, recognise their names and develop an excellent awareness of mathematics. Children are exceptionally well prepared for the next stages of their learning.
