p.1

This provision is outstanding

 Children are exceptionally confident and motivated to engage in an extensive range of activities linked to their individual needs and interests. They go on interesting outings and benefit from other professionals visiting to share their skills and knowledge. For example, children enthusiastically participate in Thai boxing and Zumba lessons.  Children's behaviour is exemplary. They respond exceptionally well to the 'golden rules' which they have devised with staff to help everyone behave well.  The inspiring management team supports staff well. It provides them with excellent opportunities for their continued professional development. For example, staff have regular training meetings that cover a wide variety of subjects. They also attend many training courses to develop their skills and achieve highly consistent practice.  The management team and staff work exceedingly well with other professionals,

including teachers from the school, to support individual children and their families. They build very successful partnerships with parents, keeping them well informed about their children.  Children learn to respect and value others exceptionally well. Staff help the children to experience other cultures through well-planned activities. For example, they try traditional Mexican foods, dress-up in traditional clothes and visit a Chinese restaurant to celebrate Chinese New Year.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The management team implements exceptional methods to make sure that staff fully understand their roles and responsibilities. All staff attend training with the local authority to make sure they are extremely secure with safeguarding procedures. For example, the management team completes on-the-spot questioning and quizzes to check their knowledge. There are highly effective methods to monitor and evaluate the provision, taking into account the views of staff, parents and children. The management team works very closely with staff to continually reflect on the planning to make sure it is meeting the needs of the children. Staff value the ongoing training, such as on management skills, to help them deliver high-quality care. The management team and staff have made significant progress since the last inspection.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are highly skilled in engaging children in challenging play to support their overall development. For example, staff actively play with the children, supporting their social, physical and communication skills exceptionally well. Staff show the children how to use equipment, such as the monkey bars, and children show a great sense of pride as they negotiate them successfully. Staff know the children exceedingly well and plan activities that particularly interest children and ensure they have fun. For example, children thoroughly enjoy visiting a local restaurant where they make pizzas. Staff work closely with parents and the school to share what children have achieved and to build very successfully on the skills they are learning in school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff encourage positive behaviour exceedingly well in a variety of ways. For example, children thoroughly enjoy gaining rewards, such as house points, for good behaviour and kind actions. They in turn are keen to reward the staff for their achievements. For example, children tell a member of staff she can have a house point for trying to skip with the children. Older children are keen to help the younger ones and new children benefit from having a 'buddy' to support them in the early days. In general, children know and understand about healthy lifestyles. They understand about keeping safe from the sun. For example, a person from the Royal National Lifeboat Institute visited to talk about sun and water safety around the local beaches. Children are encouraged to take controlled risks. They really enjoy using the adventure playground and developing their physical skills. Children thoroughly enjoy the organised team games. Staff join in, teaching children
