Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Children's safety is given the utmost priority. For example, the manager ensures all staff are fully aware of child protection procedures and their responsibility to keep children safe. Robust policies and procedures are embedded. All staff know how to respond to any emergencies swiftly. Staff-to-child ratios are well maintained and staff are deployed effectively to supervise children, indoors and outdoors. Support in place for children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities is superb. Partnerships with other professionals are seamless. Together they implement highly responsive plans that successfully help to close any gaps in children's progress. The manager is working towards strengthening the excellent exchange of information with other settings that children attend to provide continuity in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff have an excellent knowledge of children's needs and interests, and plan a range of activities to develop new skills. The highly stimulating environment and wide range of activities promote children's curiosity, imagination and concentration. Their language is effectively encouraged. Staff support children in following their own spontaneous play ideas. For example, children independently explore and talk about the life cycle of a frog. Staff make good use of spontaneous learning opportunities. For example, children go outdoors to explore the snow, describe what it looks and feels like, and enjoy making snow castles. Staff provide high levels of challenge and encourage children to develop their mathematical skills. For example, children learn to solve problems by using beads.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

All children are extremely relaxed and settled. Children enjoy interesting opportunities to learn about the use of technology. For example, they eagerly use a camera to take pictures of each other and independently take turns by using a sand timer. Children have in-depth opportunities to learn about the diverse world in which they live. For example, they reflect on their similarities and differences to other people and cultures. The manager and staff prioritise children's safety and complete thorough risk assessments to minimise any hazards. They provide children with healthy, well-balanced snacks. Children are independent and serve themselves fruit. Staff promote physical activity, indoors and outside. For example, children stretch and exercise indoors and play in the fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children learn a wealth of skills that prepare them extremely well for their next stage of development. They are eager to learn. Their determination and perseverance to complete a task are exceptional. Children gain a multitude of skills in early reading, writing and number that fully support their future learning, including school.
