Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

All staff are highly reflective and contribute towards ongoing evaluations of their practice. Managers make excellent use of feedback from parents, children and other professionals to support their own evaluations and set changes in place very rapidly. For example, staff introduced a physical play session for older children following parents' feedback. Managers monitor staff performance with rigour and accuracy. Staff have exceptional support to develop their knowledge and acquire excellent teaching skills. They help children to make the best possible progress in their learning. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are extremely knowledgeable about local child protection procedures and have an excellent understanding of their policies that help to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff make precise, high-quality observations of children as they play and use them to make very accurate assessments of their learning. Staff use the assessments to set children high levels of challenge in their play. Staff ensure that activities are exciting and innovative. For example, children enjoy imaginative activities where they pretend to fly around the world to places that they originate from. Staff ensure that older children have numerous ways to develop their handwriting skills. Younger children take responsibility for small tasks extremely well and show care and consideration for others. For example, they put on their own aprons for messy play activities and independently share the tools between themselves. Even the very youngest children help to tidy away resources.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff create excellent relationships with children and their parents. They make the most of their unique relationships and enable children to flourish. Although staff do not provide an extensive range of opportunities for children to find out about the lives of others, they support children's understanding of themselves and self-confidence extremely well. For example, staff give children plenty of praise during their activities, to continually raise their confidence and self-esteem. Children are incredibly confident and highly curious as they play. They seek out many new activities and try new games very readily. Younger children join in with older children's play. They watch and learn from them, to take on even higher levels of challenge in their play experiences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop excellent language and communication skills. Older children describe their ideas in great detail and talk very clearly about what they are doing. Younger children are highly confident in using actions and words to make themselves understood. Children make their own decisions and find resources to support their excellent ideas in role play. They become engrossed and highly engaged in stories for long periods of time.
