p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff place the highest priority on ensuring children are kept safe and protected from harm. The manager has excellent procedures in place to ensure that the child-to-staff ratio requirements are consistently met. She ensures that staff are deployed effectively so that children are always extremely well supervised. This includes when children are sleeping and visiting the toilet. The environment is well organised so that it provides ample space for children to explore and move around. Complaints are recorded and detail actions that have been completed to address these. There are excellent supervision systems in place to monitor staff's performance and training is sharply focused on their individual needs and improving learning outcomes for children. The manager is continually looking at ways she can source additional training to continue to build on staff's excellent knowledge and skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Well-qualified staff use their superb knowledge of how children learn and expertise in teaching to provide an outstanding range of learning opportunities for all children. Babies show a very strong exploratory impulse and rapidly move towards the resources that excite them. They enjoy opportunities to learn using their senses and feel different textured objects in treasure baskets. Older children demonstrate a genuine love of books as they choose their favourites and give them to staff to read. Staff enhance children's learning significantly. They ask them questions to help them think and introduce new words to help extend their vocabulary. Children who have special educational needs and those who speak English as an additional language are superbly supported by highly skilled staff. This helps them to reach their full potential. Staff teach pre-school children to recognise and write their names and help them develop excellent early literacy skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children confidently explore the environment and make choices about what they want to do. Toddlers and pre-school children demonstrate high levels of independence as they manage their own personal care needs in readiness for school. For example, they set the tables, pour drinks and self-serve their meals at lunchtime. Staff are excellent role models and play alongside children to teach them to understand how to share and take turns. This helps children to develop extremely strong friendships and a very secure understanding of acceptable behaviour. Children develop an extremely mature understanding of how to keep themselves safe. For example, they independently find a yellow sign and put it near the sinks. They say, 'I'm putting this here to tell everyone to be careful not to slip because the floor is wet'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children consistently make high rates of progress. This includes children who have special educational needs and those who speak English as an additional language. Children develop the key skills that give them an excellent foundation for later learning and the eventual move on to school. They increasingly show high levels of self-control during activities and confidence in social situations.
