Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff regularly attend training to further develop their excellent understanding of their role in safeguarding children. They know how to identify extreme views and behaviours. Management follows excellent recruitment and induction systems to check the suitability of staff and ensure they are competent in their new role. The manager and senior staff regularly complete robust supervision with staff, which, for example, helps to identify training needs and ongoing suitability. Staff receive excellent training opportunities to consistently develop their knowledge and skills further. They are all committed to continuous improvement. Staff attend innovative training and continually consider ways to further enhance the wonderfully rich learning environment. For example, staff successfully offer more variety and exciting messy activities, to fully engage children and support their learning and development even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff work extremely well together as a team. There are excellent arrangements in place to ensure that staff supervise play areas and activities very well. For example, during outdoor play, when children play board games and at teatime, staff interactions and deployment are highly effective. Art and craft resources are freely available and used very well by the children. For example, they make handprint displays to support their imagination and creativity. Staff consistently plan a rich, varied and exciting learning environment, which motivates, enthuses and engages children to learn. For example, children take part in experiments. Staff expertly encourage, ask questions and attentively listen to children's points of view, to further extend their learning. However, younger children are not always encouraged to try out these exciting activities. The key person skilfully monitors children's achievements and individual needs, to help them to further

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Partnership with parents is extremely strong. Staff successfully share with parents the experiences and activities offered to their children every day. Children are emotionally secure, they settle extremely quickly and play very well with each other. During group times children agree rules, learn how to be considerate to each other, and celebrate cultural festivals. For example, children skilfully decorate paper hands to celebrate Diwali. Children respect and value each other, and they elect a club president who actively listens to and acts upon their views. Staff lay a firm foundation for children to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Children have plenty of exercise outdoors and they devour a healthy tea. The youngest children are immensely independent, sociable and confident. For example, they independently make choices and they serve themselves food and drink at teatime.
