Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are extremely skilled at recognising the signs and symptoms that may indicate a concern about a child's welfare. Leaders implement strong policies to ensure the safety of children and staff. Highly effective support ensures that staff's professional development is expertly enhanced. The manager and deputy act as exemplary role models for the skilled and dedicated team. Effective monitoring of children's progress enables managers and staff to identify any gaps in children's learning and to seek appropriate interventions.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Opportunities for children's learning indoors and outdoors are extensive. The innovative range of resources is enthusiastically and independently used by all the children. For example, children are enthralled by an activity to do 'cave drawings' under the tables and are fascinated by the tools and resources in 'Santa's workshop'. Children make extensive choices about things they like, for example, by ticking next to images prepared on laminated cards. Staff are always close by and skilfully ask children purposeful questions. They consistently encourage children to think and solve problems. The resources to develop children's imaginative skills are as exciting as they are versatile. Children determine how and what scene they want to act out and express themselves creatively. Staff are very skilled in supporting children to speak and to communicate with them and one another. All children are confident to discuss their feelings.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely settled. They demonstrate high levels of confidence as they make independent choices about what they want to do. Staff are inspirational role models for children and they provide clear and consistent boundaries to teach children how to behave. Children learn to value diversity and to respect each other, and consistently work together in harmony. For example, they actively engage one another and share resources and ideas. Staff are exceptionally sensitive and caring. They ensure that children's physical and emotional needs are consistently met to support their self-esteem and emotional security.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are extremely well prepared for their next stage of learning, including entering school. Many children can write their names and some are successfully attempting to read. All children develop excellent personal care skills from an early age. For example, they confidently choose appropriate clothing for outdoor play.
