Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have an excellent understanding of child protection and this underpins all aspects of their work. They have a comprehensive understanding of how to safeguard children. For example, the manager ensures all staff attend regular training and quizzes them during meetings to make sure their knowledge is up to date. The manager carries out extensive monitoring of children's progress. This helps her to monitor all aspects of children's learning extremely well and to narrow any achievement gaps with great success. Staff have excellent partnership working with parents and other professionals, providing excellent continuity of learning. For example, they are particularly proactive in sharing children's learning with their childminders.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff have extremely high expectations of the children. They have an excellent understanding of children's next steps of learning and successfully use this alongside highly detailed assessments to inform their excellent planning. Staff provide stimulating activities which support children to make excellent progress with their learning. For instance, staff teach children how to solve problems with immense success, learning how to compare patterns on puzzle pieces. Staff teach children to respect each other's views of how to complete the activity. This supports children's confidence extremely well. During the inspection, staff taught children how to use scissors with great success. They placed stickers on children's thumbs and fingers so they learnt which ones to use to be able to control the scissors safely. At times, staff do not use resources to support older children's understanding of technology to their full potential.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are highly confident learners. Most-able children support less-able children during small-group activities about healthy eating. During the inspection, staff asked children highly effective questions about items they pulled from a bag. For instance, when they talked about doughnuts they asked why eating them is not sensible. Children responded extraordinary well, explaining they have too much sugar and the dentist does not like them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop highly effective skills helping them progress on to the next stage of their learning and the subsequent move to school extremely well. Children make excellent progress with their literacy development. For example, they are highly skilled in using letter sounds to spell out their names and to write them down. Children also participate in a regular language programme, which rapidly narrows any achievement gaps with their speech development.
