Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have an excellent understanding of the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Effective systems are used to monitor children's attendance, this helps staff identify children and families who may need additional support. The management team is dedicated to developing the skills of the staff team. Staff receive regular supervisions and feedback to enhance their knowledge further to support children's learning and development. Staff are passionate to enhance their professional development and to gain qualifications. For example, managers and parents attend forest school training to enrich outdoor learning further. The manager is now considering how to enrich outdoor learning experiences for babies even further. The manager tracks the progress of individual and groups of children closely. Room leaders attend moderation training and monitor their group of children, they

quickly identify gaps in development and plan support to help them catch up.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is consistently of a very high standard. Staff motivate children in activities to enrich their current learning. Children are immersed in play and the atmosphere buzzes with their excitement and eagerness to explore. Staff provide a commentary for babies' play and introduce new words to help extend their vocabulary. Toddlers are enthralled to investigate dough. For example, they are fascinated to smell herbs, decorate their dough and delight in using dough further to follow actions in their dance. Older children in circle time confidently name their key person, count how many children are in a group and learn about quantities. This highly supports their mathematical development, they make rapid gains in their understanding of numbers and problem solving.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide remarkable opportunities for children to develop their self-care skills. Older children peel and chop their own fruit at snack time and put on their coats and boots ready to play outdoors. Toddlers enthusiastically follow actions and join in with familiar words and rhymes. Babies show exceptional control as they negotiate apparatus and move to music eagerly. This helps effectively promote children's physical skills. Older children are keen to access the outdoor area. They develop their physical agility and articulately retell a familiar story. This inspires their communication and language skills and arouses their interests in books. Staff promote effective risk taking with children who listen carefully and prudently follow rules within forest school activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children settle quickly and communicate extremely well, this helps them to build trusting friendships and particularly close bonds with their key person. Older children practise their early writing skills, make marks and describe marks on 'treasure' maps. Children learn to recognise their name in print from a young age. They demonstrate remarkable literacy and mathematical skills. All children rapidly gain the skills needed for their next stages in learning, this includes those in receipt of funding and children who speak English as an additional language.
