Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The well-qualified staff very skilfully extend children's learning, indoors and outdoors. They plan highly stimulating activities and exceptional experiences that foster children's creativity and sensory exploration extremely well. Staff superbly support children's imagination during play. They are highly skilled in knowing when to give children time to work things out for themselves and when to offer guidance. Children are confident to have a go and try things for themselves. For example, under the close supervision of staff, children delight in using a real firelighter to light the candles on their homemade play dough cakes. Staff use excellent teaching strategies to promote children's language and communication skills. They take every opportunity to talk to younger children and support their language development through songs, stories, rhymes and discussions. Children eagerly explore and experiment with the superb range of resources.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are exceptionally effective in helping children to form a close bond and settle in quickly. Children's opinions are valued, and staff encourage them to talk about their own experiences. Staff are excellent role models, who show a calm and kind manner towards all the children. Staff sensitively support children when they move on from one room to another. Parents are fully included in children's learning and receive ongoing information about their child's progress and achievements. The manager is keen to continue to enhance the already excellent partnerships with parents, to provide highly consistent support for children's behaviour and welfare.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are thriving and have an eager disposition towards learning. Older children are extremely well prepared for their next stage in learning and their eventual move on to school. Children develop superb independence and self-care skills. They make excellent progress in their learning from their starting points, including those who have special educational needs or disabilities. Young children become very keen and active learners. They form strong relationships with staff and seek out special friends to play with. Children show high levels of confidence and are extremely motivated to explore and discover.
