Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Leaders and managers have responded exceptionally well to the action and recommendations set at the previous inspection. Safeguarding is effective. All staff now receive safeguarding training routinely. They review their procedures continuously to secure a high level of understanding of how to identify and respond to concerns. An excellent focus on professional development enables staff and managers to improve their skills and knowledge very successfully. For example, training in play work has helped all staff to extend activities much more effectively to help children become highly engaged in their play. Partnership working with parents is excellent. Staff have a very high regard for parents' views and respond exceptionally well to their suggestions. For example, following parent questionnaires, staff have introduced a wide range of exciting science experiments that stimulate children's curiosity very effectively. The team's approach contributes to

highly effective self-evaluation. Staff plan to continue a rolling programme of new and exciting activities to maintain children's high levels of motivation.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Leaders, managers and staff have worked exceptionally hard to provide a much-improved play environment and exciting experiences. The range of resources and activities is outstanding. Staff choose to reflect very successfully all the areas of learning that children experience in school. Their approach, together with very close partnership working with parents and the on-site school, leads to high levels of continuity in children's development. Children show high levels of concentration as they engage in creative activities, learn about the world around them and practise their physical skills. For example, they become highly engrossed making Egyptian necklaces, as staff help them to absorb new information and make links in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children develop high levels of confidence, such as taking turns to talk about their experiences within a large mixed-age group. They listen to each other well for most of the time and the acting manager is aware of the need to extend opportunities to practise listening skills further. Staff place a high emphasis on helping children learn about healthy lifestyles, responding very effectively to their suggestions. For example, they now provide twice weekly cooking sessions at children's request and make nutritious meals, such as soup and fruit kebabs. Staff are dedicated to helping children respect people who are different from themselves. For example, they embrace the different home languages of attending families, regularly celebrate cultural festivals and reflect children's experiences in very well-presented displays and photo books.
