Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The management team implements comprehensive arrangements for safeguarding children's well-being and protecting them from harm. Staff are exceptionally well supported in their professional development through induction, ongoing training and guidance. The excellent working partnerships with parents ensure staff obtain and share regular information to support consistency in children's learning. The management team evaluates the provision and explores further innovative opportunities to raise the quality even higher, such as using online systems to exchange information with parents and enhancing the provision for babies.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The management team and staff use excellent systems to monitor children's learning. There is a strong focus on children's interests, achievements and what they need to do next. Staff place a high priority on developing communication and language skills. For example, children learn how to confidently express themselves in different situations. They are extremely attentive, listen well and follow instructions. Children develop outstanding literacy skills. For example, staff inspire children to join in with exciting stories and bring them alive as the children act them out. Vibrant music sessions encourage children to sing and dance to their favourite songs, and learn the names of different musical instruments and notes. Children are enthralled when learning about the world, such as the lifecycle of a caterpillar and seeing them turn into butterflies.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The exceptionally strong key-person and settling-in arrangements strengthen staff relationships with children and their families. Children feel safe and develop very secure emotional attachments. Staff provide a highly stimulating and exciting environment that provides excellent learning opportunities and imaginative play. For example, children display high levels of independence and confidence when working together in a pretend building site. They learn about staying safe and the importance of wearing high-visibility jackets. Overall, all ages explore an excellent range of equipment to develop their physical skills. Although, opportunities for older children to challenge themselves fully with large equipment are not as frequent.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children quickly gain the skills they need for the move to school. For example, older children write their own name, and link letters and sounds. They confidently use a calculator and technology resources. Children gain excellent mathematical skills, such as using a timer, calculating size and measuring. Younger children are extremely curious and rapidly develop their mobility and communication skills.
