Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are fully well trained in safeguarding issues and are continually vigilant. The manager and staff monitor children's progress and achievements extremely well. For example, the manager carries out a detailed analysis of children's learning and evaluates the progress of groups of children meticulously. This transpires in staff having detailed training development plans and excellent professional development opportunities. Training untaken by the manager has supported her to devise her own monitoring tools for both children and staff development. There are excellent procedures to support children with special educational needs. For example, they work extremely well with other professionals to significantly support all children's progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use every opportunity to extend children's knowledge, for example, through purposeful discussion. They skilfully adapt activities to challenge children even further in their learning. Careful monitoring of children's progress helps to ensure that they receive timely support and their individual needs are met. Staff have identified a goal to continue to develop their range of natural resources to extend even further children's investigative and explorative play. Children learn excellent mathematical skills. They independently explore shapes and begin to make patterns, relating them to things they see in their environment. Children highly engage in activities and think critically about what they are learning. For example, when playing shops, they use their skills purposefully and write their own lists and record monetary values when buying and selling foods.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is exceptional and they play harmoniously with their friends. They learn from a young age to share and take turns. Older children thoughtfully include others in their play. Children are proud of their work and staff show excellent enthusiasm when asking children to tell them about pictures they have made. Children describe their marks with confidence, which staff praise highly. This helps to further develop children's confidence and sense of belonging within the setting. There are extensive and exciting physical challenges outdoors. For example, children concentrate deeply as they practise their excellent balancing skills to negotiate the challenging course.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are exceptionally motivated, inquisitive and fully immersed in their learning. Children develop an excellent sense of responsibility and high levels of independence. For example, they have responsibility for age-appropriate tasks during daily routines. Children develop excellent skills that help prepare them well for when they move on to school.
