This provision is outstanding

 The quality of teaching is outstanding. The highly qualified staff team provides exciting and creative activities for children to explore and investigate. They use thorough observations and assessments to track children's progress.  Behaviour is excellent. Staff are superb role models for children.

They are keen to reach the 'pot of gold' aware that kind actions and words enable this.  Meticulous self-evaluation takes into account the views of staff, parents and children. Highly targeted improvement plans are used to set high expectations and drive continuous improvements.  Staff work tremendously well together and their engagement, commitment and enthusiasm in children's play is inspiring.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The staff team has a very robust understanding of their role in protecting children. Meticulous documentation is maintained. Managers observe and monitor staff practice robustly and provide an extensive programme of professional development. This immense support enables staff to continually provide the best possible teaching and learning experiences for children. Monitoring extends to different groups of children as well as the educational programme. This provides a tremendously detailed and informative account of how and where children are making progress. The manager and her team plan to develop the outside space even further. They understand the importance of reviewing the impact of any changes, to ensure that outcomes for children are maintained at the highest level.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are very well qualified. They use expert questioning to challenge children's thinking and encourage them to describe and explain what they are doing. Children become deeply engaged in their learning. Older children strengthen their mathematical understanding as they match and order coloured bugs. Young children delight in exploring paints as they make marks with tools. Young children build towers with bricks, finding the tallest and shortest structure. Children make marks and practise their early writing skills using a range of resources. Exceptional attention is given to developing children's language and communication skills. Staff help support children's language through repetition, extending sentences and providing commentary as they play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Highly personalised settling-in information and the excellent sharing of ongoing information helps to ensure children settle very quickly. Children are happy, relaxed and show high levels of confidence and self-esteem. Staff support children to develop superb social skills. For example, staff teach children how to play cooperatively together and to share resources as they buy and sell ice creams. Children's physical development is given high regard and there are daily opportunities to access the exceptionally well-resourced garden. Children have a range of home cooked, nutritious meals which they enjoy in a social environment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make rapid progress. For children with special educational needs and in receipt of funding, gaps in attainment are narrowing and most-able children are achieving at well above expected level. Children are active learners who make decisions about their learning and play. All children are prepared remarkably well for the next stage in learning within the group or for their move on to school
