Exceptional attention is given to staff recruitment to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Feedback from clients, staff, parents and children is used to drive continuous improvement. Regular staff meetings and supervision sessions ensure practice is monitored rigorously and is of high quality.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The highly qualified staff have an excellent understanding of how to promote children's learning and well-being to the highest levels. Observation and assessment are precise and planning takes account of children's individual interests and abilities. Young children are encouraged to explore using all of their senses. They are inquisitive and enjoy investigating what happens when they press buttons on electronic equipment. Older children learn to shake and tap musical instruments with increasing control. Children have frequent opportunities to develop their early writing and mathematical skills. They excitedly complete a superhero hunt, counting how many superhero pictures they find.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Key persons know individual children extremely well. Transition is meticulously planned. Detailed information is obtained from parents and shared with other settings that children attend. This helps children to settle very quickly. Staff are exemplary role models and children's behaviour is excellent. Children play exceptionally well together and show respect and kindness to each other. Staff promote healthy lifestyles particularly well. Young children have great fun developing their physical skills. They dance, exploring different ways of moving to create a superhero handshake, which they then perform for the whole group. Children effectively develop their self-help skills and understanding of hygiene practices, such as washing their hands before eating. Children further benefit from visits to the park and museum to help continue their learning outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children learn to make their own decisions and know that their thoughts and ideas are valued. Staff effectively build on children's language skills and help them become confident speakers. All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language, achieve extremely well in all areas of learning. Children are acquiring the key skills, attitudes and dispositions they need to help prepare them for their future learning.
