Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff effectively use their excellent teaching skills and extensive early year's knowledge to create inspiring learning opportunities. Staff are extremely friendly and approachable. Parents are provided with a vast variety of ways to converse and share their knowledge of their children's learning at home. This information is then effectively used to complete precise assessments and plan activities that successfully challenge every child. Babies delight in sticking as they make ghosts out of cardboard tubes and with excellent support from staff, use the glue sticks. They show great perseverance and deep concentration. Older children are extremely enthusiastic to put on their coats ready to go outside in the excellently resourced play area. Children go out and are extremely eager to balance on the beams and climb the wooden castle, counting the steps of the ladder. Staff are always there to support them and ask excellent questions encouraging the children to think for

The manager and staff have created a challenging and exceedingly stimulating indoor and outdoor area. Children are provided with a wealth of excellent learning opportunities that inspire their physical development. Children rapidly develop an understanding of the links between healthy food and their good health, when choosing and preparing their own snacks. An extremely strong key-person system is in place. Staff find out about children's personalities, play interests and ways in which they engage with other children and the environment. They know children incredibly well and are extremely nurturing in their care. Friendships are beginning to flourish as staff support children to share toys and respect each other's differences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children explore in the rich and stimulating environment. They develop independence and resilience remarkably well. They have an array of opportunities to develop their communication and language skills, and continually extend their vocabulary. All children make outstanding progress from their individual starting points, including those who receive early years pupil premium. All children are developing excellent skills for future learning and in readiness for their move on to school.
