Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are extremely vigilant regarding children's safety and have an excellent knowledge and understanding of the procedures to follow should they have concerns about the safety or welfare of a child. The manager closely checks the excellent progress made by different groups of children attending the setting. Informative data is obtained which enables her to quickly identify gaps in children's learning and develop effective strategies to help ensure all children make the best possible progress. The achievement gap is closing rapidly. The manager uses her superb skills, knowledge and experience to coach and mentor staff and carries out supervision sessions to manage their performance. This has an extremely positive impact on the overall outstanding quality of the setting. Staff continually reflect on their practice, activities and environment, and make appropriate adaptations to reflect the ever-changing needs of children. The manager

recognises the importance of self-evaluation to continue to maintain and drive the outstanding quality of the setting.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide a rich, varied and imaginative learning environment, indoors and outdoors, which successfully captures children's interests. Children are extremely confident and motivated learners. They demonstrate high levels of concentration and perseverance when they count how many jugs of water it takes to fill a large bucket. Staff support and encourage children to count up to 78. They introduce new vocabulary, such as, 'first', 'next', 'last', 'behind' and 'in front of'. Children use twigs to draw and make marks in flour and mud, and write their names to self-register on arrival. These types of activities help to successfully extend children's early literacy development and mathematical skills in readiness for future learning and school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are excellent role models and create a culture of mutual respect and kindness throughout the setting. Children play cooperatively, share and take turns and are helpful towards staff and each other. Their behaviour is exemplary. Staff ensure that children's emotional and physical needs are met at all times. Care practices are excellent and have a positive impact on children's health and well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make excellent progress. This includes children whose capabilities are below expected levels of development for their age and children who speak English as an additional language. Children make excellent progress in their communication and language skills. They are developing an excellent understanding of how to manage risks and challenges relative to their age. Children gain an extensive range of skills, abilities and attitudes that helps to prepare them for future learning and school.
