Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff complete relevant training and understand their role fully in protecting children. They know what to do if they have any child protection concerns. The manager monitors the excellent system of high quality and accurate observations and assessments regularly to identify precisely where children are in their learning. Furthermore, they recognise the importance of continuing to analyse information about the attainment of different groups of children to help ensure the outstanding success of all children. The manager ensures that all staff have wide-ranging opportunities to take part in supervision sessions and attend training. This has had a positive impact, particularly in supporting staff to deliver the highest quality teaching and care for the benefit of children.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children demonstrate superb levels of engagement and enthusiasm as they freely explore and investigate their environment. Children's play is always purposeful. For example, they explore the properties of water and sand, melting ice to find toy dinosaurs, join in the search for autumn themed natural resources and explore different sounds and textures on the outdoor sensory board. The well-qualified staff are highly effective in helping each child make excellent progress in their learning. Children like to explore the garden and they are encouraged to identify herbs, insects and discuss the changes in the weather. The knowledgeable staff use robust systems to promote children's communication and language expertly as they take part in the broad variety of exciting activities that cover all areas of learning. Storytelling sessions are highly interactive and fully engage children's attention. This supports their understanding of story structure and helps promote their

early literacy skills. Children develop a strong understanding of mathematics through practical activities. For example, they categorise, weigh and count pebbles in the construction area before undertaking a number hunt.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is impeccable. Adults are excellent role models and children cooperate and respect each other's ideas, working together to complete a shared goal. Extremely skilled staff deploy themselves very effectively, ensuring every child's care and learning needs are precisely met. Highly successful staff training and local initiatives, promote children's understanding of a healthy lifestyle. Staff make very good use of opportunities to help children learn about risk taking, such as when scaling a low-level climbing wall or the wooden adventure structure.

p.4

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make exceptional progress in readiness for school. They become confident communicators. They listen well, eagerly express their ideas and understand simple instructions. Younger children are curious and learn through lots of exploration and discovery. Older children are willing to have a go in their play and become critical thinkers, questioning what and why something is happening. Children show great delight at seeing their friends and play happily together enjoying their time at the setting.
