p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The leadership team places the highest priority on keeping children safe. For example, leaders implement extremely effective recruitment, induction and appraisal systems and this ensures staff are highly suitable for work. Staff attend regular training to include safeguarding and this ensures all have a comprehensive understanding of reporting procedures. All staff know how to protect the welfare of children. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has established excellent partnerships with parents, local communities and other providers. For example, they work closely with parents and the local authority to assess children who may have additional needs. The ambitious and determined leadership team accurately evaluates the provision. Parents feel confident to discuss the areas they would like to see improved. For instance, parents' feedback showed that they would like to see some changes to nap time and the food provision for their

children. The leadership team has adequately addressed and improved these areas.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is inspirational. The well-qualified staff support children to make excellent progress in their learning and development. They are skilled at planning extensive and innovative activities that inspire, challenge and feed children's curiosity and imagination. For example, children were extremely excited to plant and see their bulbs grow. Staff ask highly effective questions and provide high-quality explanations, which securely extends children's learning. For instance, staff explained the correct way to place the bulbs in the soil to allow them to grow, and challenged the children to consider what was making their pinwheels spin. Children were captivated when they discovered a centipede and watched it crawl away. Children relished dressing up as different characters, supporting their creativity and imagination as they played outside in the garden.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide an inclusive nurturing environment for children to flourish. They treat children respectfully and this enables them to develop secure, trusting relationships. Children have inspiring opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, children build their coordination and spatial awareness skills when they run to make their pinwheels twirl, and use the climbing wall to improve their dexterity and balance. Children develop a strong sense of responsibility. For example, children have different jobs to complete each day and take care of their personal needs. Staff use a range of exotic fruit and other resources to teach children about healthy eating and other cultures.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop a yearning for learning and are remarkably confident. They gain skills that prepare them exceptionally well for school. All children develop their language and communication skills to extraordinarily high standards. For example, children are fluent in at least two different languages. All children make excellent progress in their early mathematical and literacy skills. Children count securely to 10, do simple addition and subtraction and write their names easily. Children use phonics to help them read familiar words. Children who have additional needs make solid progress from their starting points.
