Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The management team monitors children and groups of children's progress exceptionally well to ensure that they are all achieving to a high level. Managers have extremely high expectations of staff and regularly monitor their performance to ensure their teaching is consistently strong. Safeguarding is effective. The management team ensures that staff have an expert understanding of safeguarding procedures and are confident to report concerns to protect children's welfare. The management team is extremely reflective and has confidently restructured the way that staff work to benefit children. For example, staff teach the group of children they have most expertise with, which has helped to provide very high quality teaching and excellent outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff have very high expectations of children and provide activities that challenge and engage children; however, they do not always plan for their interests. Staff encourage children to explore their mathematical understanding, for example, by using rulers to measure the length and size of objects. Staff respond exceptionally well to children's play. They skilfully observe before joining in to encourage discussions that enhance children's imaginative play and learning. Staff provide a wide range of activities and resources to develop children's knowledge of the world. They teach children to name colours in different languages, and where different animals in the world come from.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff work exceptionally well with parents to ensure children's emotional development and well-being are secure. They help children of all ages to develop high levels of independence and confidence. Staff are extremely positive role models and help children learn to be respectful of each other. For example, staff respect older children's views when planning for their learning and teach them to wait their turn to speak and contribute in groups. Staff plan exciting activities that help children to manage risk and to be physically active. For example, outside, staff help younger children to climb onto planks and encourage older children to have a go unaided.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are exceptional communicators and can concentrate for a long time. They develop excellent skills for future learning. They independently use technology to investigate their interests, such as searching for information on animals to find out more about where they live. Children are extremely imaginative, for example, they imagine that sharks are going to eat them and paddle off in pretend boats, negotiating their path, to find biscuits to feed them. Children are highly motivated to learn, for instance, younger children ask adults for help when they find using scissors a challenge.
