This provision is outstanding

 The partnerships with parents are extremely strong and effective. Staff work progressively with parents and carers to provide an effective, consistent and continuous provision for children in order to support their welfare and ongoing development.  Staff work extremely positively and enthusiastically towards early intervention to make a difference in children's lives through a wealth of play experiences. This successfully provides children with the skills they require for their next stage in their learning. Every child's achievement is celebrated and shared, however small.  Staff work tirelessly with a wide range of other professionals and agencies to provide a consistent approach to children's learning and care. This supports exceptional outcomes for children.  Children play in a highly inclusive environment. Children and their families are respected for their background, culture and language. Staff extensively value input

from the family into children's care and use information extremely well to reflect on and celebrate children's heritage.  Children are extremely confident and independent. They develop close bonds with staff within very short periods of time due to the staff's sensitive nature. Children receive excellent levels of support to enhance their emotional well-being, especially during the transition to their next place for learning.  Children's physical well-being is very carefully fostered through sensitive approaches from all staff. They act as excellent role models for children by showing them how to wash hands and giving clear explanations. Specialist staff promote healthy eating and physical exercise as part of following a healthy lifestyle.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Highly ambitious management provides very strong leadership and they act as very positive role models for all staff. They instil professionalism in staff, who support the whole community in a friendly and welcoming environment. They are extremely dedicated to ongoing improvements. Staff performance is constantly observed, evaluated and supported. Ongoing, effective training contributes towards immediate changes in practice. This helps promote a significant and positive impact for children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are trained through ongoing testing of their knowledge of how to protect children from harm. Very effective professional links with other agencies help to support families, especially those in need.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

An extremely effective assessment process supports individual children's ongoing development. Staff are very well informed about children's next steps due to accurate information gained from parents and other professionals. Staff use this to challenge children by using their favourite characters in their play. For example, they sort and match coloured dinosaurs, talking about their favourites, the noises they make and their size. This significantly supports their understanding of early mathematics, communication skills and concentration. Children who special educational needs or disability and those who speak English as an additional language receive sensitive and very effective support. This sharply focuses on acquiring speech and confidence. Individual children delight in recognising figures of their favourite characters used by staff to encourage their use of expression and sounds. Children respond with awe and wonder, resulting in clearly formed

words. Children's development is carefully monitored, but some information is not used to its full extent to reflect the environment in which children learn best.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff foster and encourage children's positive behaviour. Children learn from excellent role models where staff cooperate and negotiate their roles. Children mirror this by learning to share and take turns through carefully planned activities that are later extended to develop further positive social skills. Children are highly stimulated through a wealth of activities in an inviting indoor and outdoor environment. They show increasing levels of curiosity and intrigue through the staff's enthusiasm. Staff support children as they learn very quickly how to keep themselves and others safe. For example, children are asked why they need to walk to the bathroom. They respond by telling staff that they do not want to fall over or bump into others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are making exceptional progress within short periods of time. Staff close any identified gaps through carefully planned provision. Children make significant progress in social skills and communication. They play with cornflour and oil, sharing experiences with new friends. They laugh, talk about how it feels, take turns and then wash their hands together. This is successfully supported by the key person recognising that some children need significant support in developing relationships with adults and their peers.
