Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have an excellent understanding of safeguarding and child protection issues. The manager is highly skilled at evaluating the quality of the provision and this helps to provide children with outstanding learning experiences. For example, the manager has reflected on the quality of children's language development and introduced systems to help ensure staff's interactions with children are of a consistently excellent standard. The manager plans to improve the setting further by introducing a wider range of opportunities for children to learn through exploration in the baby room. Children are very well prepared for their move to school. Management and staff work very closely and effectively with other settings and professionals to ensure children experience continuity in their care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are very engaged and extremely motivated while they play. Staff extend their learning expertly. For example, as children experiment with flour, porridge oats and water, staff help them to think about the effects of liquids on dry materials. Children make decisions and develop their mathematical vocabulary, and staff skilfully and effectively introduce reasons for children to write and count as they play. Staff provide exciting activities that appeal to children's interests. For example, children thoroughly enjoy washing dolls. Children make many discoveries and experience lots of challenge and success.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are very content and extremely well engaged. Their behaviour is impressive. For example, children take turns and follow instructions as they play a game with a battery operated toy. Older children help younger children to find solutions, and children are excellent at listening to each other. Children spend lots of time outside; they get plenty of exercise and sunshine, follow their own ideas and make their own plans. Staff support children's emotional well-being extremely well. They know how to help children experience success and continually praise their efforts. This is particularly effective for those children who are learning English as an additional language. Children make very positive relationships with their special key person and staff are expert at tailoring experiences to suit each individual child. This gives children an excellent platform from which to make progress.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are mesmerised and very involved as they play. They explore with independence and enthusiasm. Children are confident and settled; they get on really well with each other and are very considerate and respectful.
