p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Leaders are passionate and committed to providing exceptional early education for all children. They value the importance of retaining an enthusiastic and experienced staff team. Leaders regularly reflect on how to enrich staff knowledge even further and make excellent use of a comprehensive programme of professional development to improve practice. Leaders have secure arrangements to monitor teaching and learning and they provide staff with high levels of support. Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a highly confident knowledge of child protection matters and help children to understand about their own personal safety. For example, they plan age-appropriate activities to teach children about keeping themselves safe. Leaders have an excellent overview of individual children's progress. However, they are still in the early stages of comparing the achievements of different groups of children to target support even more precisely.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff help children to rapidly expand their speaking skills and understanding of language. There is highly effective support for children with some delay in their communication skills. For example, staff sing and use signs to model language for children and support their understanding of routines and instructions exceptionally well with picture cards. Staff encourage children's enjoyment of books and deepen their early understanding of literacy. Staff bring stories to life as they help children joyfully re-enact their favourites, using homemade props. Children use their whole bodies to explore their environment and staff plan opportunities for children to gain physical control and coordination. For example, children use large-scale painting tools to make marks on paper as they express themselves creatively with materials and gain early writing abilities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children develop a strong sense of belonging in this vibrant and welcoming setting. There is clear collaboration between staff members and a supportive team atmosphere. This provides an excellent model of mutual respect for children, who show care and consideration to others around them. Children settle incredibly quickly. The highly effective key-person system helps staff to establish trusting relationships with children. Staff teach children about the importance of living safe and healthy lifestyles. For example, children learn to use equipment safely as they enjoy creating their own sandwiches. Children demonstrate their pleasure in activities and anticipate events. For example, children use the visual timetable to know what is happening now and next.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children excel towards the early learning goals and gain a tremendous range of skills. They are curious and motivated to explore their surroundings and show high levels of perseverance in chosen tasks. For example, children enjoy mixing water and paint together and using their senses to investigate how the materials transform. Children use their imaginations to make pretend party food in the home corner for their friends. Older children develop excellent mathematical skills and enjoy learning about letters and the sounds they represent.
