This provision is outstanding

 Leaders and staff have an uncompromising commitment to achieving high-quality outcomes for children. They review and evaluate the quality of their provision extensively. For example, the manager's exceptionally strong monitoring of the educational programme identifies any gaps in learning early. These are quickly addressed so children quickly catch up.  Leaders monitor staff closely and support them to reflect on their teaching practices. They develop ways to maintain and continually improve their high-quality teaching.  Staff enthuse and motivate children with a truly inspirational and stimulating learning environment. It ignites their curiosity and they explore with great enthusiasm. Staff provide an excellent range of resources and experiences to support children's learning across all areas of learning.  Leaders and staff are excellent role models. They set high behavioural expectations. Children behave exceptionally well. For example, they have a strong understanding of

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff have an excellent understanding of child protection procedures and what to do to help protect children from harm. Leaders have rigorous recruitment and induction procedures to help to ensure the continued suitability of staff. Leaders and staff have worked exceptionally hard to raise the quality of care and education. For example, staff have made significant changes to the outdoor environment. The highly qualified staff are supported incredibly well to continue to enhance their skills. For example, training has identified ways they can extend children's outdoor learning experiences about the natural world even further. Leaders and staff establish extremely effective partnerships with parents. They involve parents thoroughly in all aspects of their children's learning. For example, staff send weekly 'chatterbox diaries' to parents to help them to extend children's learning at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Observation, planning and assessment systems are exceptionally rigorous and staff plan activities to challenge and extend children's learning. They expertly encourage children's problem-solving skills to support their learning. For example, staff really challenged children to make comparison of lengths of wooden rods and sort them into size order. Children were further challenged to use the different sized rods to make a maze. Staff help children to develop new vocabulary. For example, they explain the meanings of new words they use with children, such as 'transient' during their creative art sessions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are supported incredibly well to develop an understanding of differences between themselves and others. For instance, staff involve parents in developing very impressive family books and use displays to identify where in the world each child's family originates from. Children learn to use tools safely, for example, as they chop and slice the oranges to make fruit juice. Staff support children incredibly well to understand about healthy lifestyles. For example, they discuss with children the benefits of eating nutritious meals and drinking plenty of water to keep themselves hydrated.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children acquire excellent skills that prepare them extremely well for the next stage in their learning, including going to school. Children are motivated learners. They remain engrossed and engaged in purposeful activities for incredibly long periods. Younger children develop a superb understanding of mathematical problems, such as sorting objects into colour groups. Babies show very high levels of independence and confidence. Children develop extreme confidence in their communication skills. For example, they enjoy learning new words in other languages, such as French.
