This provision is outstanding

 The motivational leadership team fully evaluates the effectiveness of the provision. For example, it meticulously analyses information about children's achievements to identify any weakness in their learning. Leaders have improved the setting's effectiveness since the last inspection. They implement actions designed to maintain high-quality teaching.  Observation, planning and assessment processes are exceptionally rigorous. Staff know the children remarkably well and plan activities to enhance children's learning. They are skilled in knowing how children learn best to challenge and extend their learning even further. Children make outstanding progress in all areas of learning.  Leaders and staff establish extremely effective partnerships with parents. They value parents highly and involve them in all aspects of their children's learning. For example, staff send weekly 'chatterbox diaries' to parents to help them extend children's learning

at home.  Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff support children remarkably well to develop consideration and respect for others.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The provider and staff have an excellent understanding of safeguarding procedures and what to do to help protect children from harm. The provider has rigorous recruitment and induction procedures to help ensure the continued suitability of staff. The well-qualified staff work superbly well as a team and are motivated to continue with their professional development. For example, recent training has focused staff to improve children's outdoor experiences. Leaders and staff have enthusiastic plans to enhance this area even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff have an excellent knowledge of what children know and can do and support them highly effectively to meet their full potential. Staff promote children's early literacy skills tremendously well. For instance, they help older children to write weekly diary books recording events from home. The highly qualified staff team has an extremely sharp focus on supporting children's communication skills. For example, staff successfully encourage children to describe where an object is placed in a storybook illustration. They encourage children to use positional language, such as 'left', 'right' 'top' or 'bottom'. Staff further enhance children's learning experiences in the setting through an extensive range of visitors who deliver activities, such as French, drama and creative movement. Babies really benefit from their active music sessions to enhance their physical development. For example, they have great fun as they use finger and thumb grips to bounce sensory balls,

pretending they are a spider bouncing up their arms.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff expertly support children's understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, young children are helped to understand that healthy food contains vitamins which will help them grow big and strong. Children develop high levels of confidence and self-esteem in the setting. For example, they are extremely proud of their creativeness during art sessions. Children confidently ask staff to take photographs of their creations to share with their parents. Leaders promote a strong sense of community by involving parents in 'show and tell' sessions with their children and in first-aid awareness courses.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children are extremely well prepared for their next stage in learning, including going to school. Children are very confident, motivated and concentrate at an excellent level, in advance of their age and stage of development. For instance, older children are incredibly confident in making up their own songs and performing them. Children are very articulate communicators. For example, when asked to consider what a word means, such as 'unusual', they expertly understand the word can also mean 'strange'.
