The comprehensive programme of professional development equips staff to enhance their skills and practice. This helps to raise children's attainments substantially.

progress reports. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders, managers and staff are extremely knowledgeable about their responsibilities to protect children and to keep them safe from harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The highly skilled staff plan purposefully to help children gain skills in all areas of learning. For example, they use highly imaginative teaching methods to motivate children. Older children write their short stories and fervently act out various roles. Staff provide excellent support to facilitate children's active learning. Staff include ambitious targets for younger children to develop their language skills through focused activities. Children eagerly participate while they absorb visual images and make links with what they see and hear. Staff enthuse children with excellent teaching to achieve the next steps in their learning and to make significant progress in their development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children flourish and develop wide-ranging personal skills. They are extremely self-assured and initiate their own play. Children develop superb social skills when they sit at tables with staff and talk about the fresh fruit they enjoy. Children thoroughly enjoy their play out in the fresh air. Leaders recognise that further development of the outside space will enhance the opportunities for children to extend their learning. Children form very strong bonds with key persons, who provide a nurturing atmosphere. Staff treat each child as a valued individual person, significantly enhancing their sense of belonging.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those in receipt of additional funding, thrive in the welcoming, pre- school. Expert teaching helps all children, including those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, to make excellent progress in their development. Children are curious, with highly positive attitudes to learning. They are independent learners and develop the superb skills they need for their future learning in readiness for school.
