Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Managers and staff are very knowledgeable about the procedures to follow when they have safeguarding concerns. Managers provide highly effective supervision and support staff's professional development very well. Recent training has led to an increased focus on supporting children's feelings and emotions. The management team's highly effective responses to feedback enable them to provide a high- quality service. For instance, the team has improved resources to encourage conversations with young children and reorganised their use of the building to make managers more accessible to parents. Managers plan to increase young children's involvement in planning for their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use the excellent resources very skilfully, and they expertly use and adapt activities to engage children. They use photographs of local and foreign beaches to encourage children to identify differences, and children talk with pride about their local beach and experiences. Highly skilled staff encourage older children to plan activities. Following older children's interest in pirates, staff challenge them very well to create pirate maps. Children hunt for treasure hidden in the garden and eagerly count their treasures. Together, children review their activities and consider what else they need as pirates. With excellent support from staff, they consider how to create them. Later, children learn to balance as they take turns 'walking the plank'. Staff very enthusiastically and skilfully encourage babies to increase their physical and communication skills, for instance, through their love of music, singing and dancing; children laugh and thoroughly enjoy joining in.
