Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have an excellent knowledge of the procedures they should follow if they are concerned about a child. The management team tests staff knowledge through daily quiz style questions. This is one of the ways in which staff keep their knowledge up to date. Staff regularly attend training courses that promote their expert skills and knowledge to the fullest potential. Staff are effectively deployed based on their skills and qualifications. Highly qualified and experienced staff are paired with newer staff to mentor, support and raise the quality of teaching without delay. Staff are ambitious to continue their learning.

teaching and the way the well-being of their children is promoted.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are creative and innovative in extending children's learning through their interests. For example, the staff in the toddler room lead an active story session outside. This experience enriches children's all-round skills. Children start to learn about self-care by getting dressed in appropriate clothing. They search for a bear following the story and have to go through a variety of textures, such as grass, mud and water. Staff extend this learning as children take their boots and socks off to experience these textures on their bare feet. Children are exceptionally well engaged and excited to learn. They are encouraged to be highly independent. Children show exceptional pride in their achievements and are confident to share what they have done well with staff and their friends. They know how they can achieve further and are eager to learn.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is exemplary. They have an exceptionally clear understanding of what is and is not acceptable. Staff sensitively develop children's awareness of the consequences of their words and actions. They teach children basic rules extremely well and show them how to be respectful. The children are kind, sensitive and thoughtful towards each other. Staff promote children's understanding of the importance of fresh air, daily exercise and hygiene. Children's well-being is further supported by the provision of healthy meals and snacks, that the children participate in the preparation and the serving of. Mealtimes are a social occasion as children join together to enjoy each other's company.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children of all ages are eager to join in and they happily explore their environment. For example, toddlers enjoy scooping oats and tipping them from bowl to bowl. Older children use a wide range of material and media. Staff share information with each other and plan to promote children's next steps in learning from the outset. All children make consistently high rates of progress in their learning. They are extremely well prepared for the next stage in their learning and the move to school.
