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 ensures staff can identify children and families who may need additional support. The manager is dedicated to developing the skills of the staff team; staff receive regular supervisions and secure evaluative feedback to enhance their skills to further aid children's learning and development. Partnerships with others are very well established. Children receive timely early intervention and help. Parents say that they receive excellent support for their children's learning and care. They are extremely impressed with the high level of expertise and the commitment of staff to their roles. The staff are considering how to develop even more innovative ways of engaging parents in their children's learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is consistently of a very high standard. Staff engage children in activities to enhance their current learning. Children become enthralled when they compare, weigh and measure ingredients for a baking activity. Staff have high expectations of what children can learn, they constantly challenge their learning and development. For example, they introduce scales and a microwave to help with this. Children are keen to recognise numbers and count scoops of ingredients and the amount of times they need to press buttons on the equipment. This very effectively supports children's mathematical skills and how to use technology for a purpose. Children are highly focused as they sound out letters to match items, which inspires their developing literacy skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children flourish in the happy atmosphere of the pre-school. They form very close bonds with staff, some of whom have worked in the pre-school for a long time. This creates a stable environment and helps children to feel emotionally secure. The qualified and experienced staff have an exceptional knowledge of the children and their individual needs. They adapt activities accordingly and are always on hand to provide skilful additional support. Children have a real sense of who they are and develop superb confidence and independence. Excellent opportunities are provided for children to develop their physical skills, indoors and outdoors. For example, children choose their favourite songs and confidently move in a range of ways, demonstrating their enjoyment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make rapid progress from their entry into the pre-school. Children show higher levels of development than expected, listen attentively and participate well while following instructions from staff. They have brilliant social skills and are exceptionally confident and highly motivated to learn. Children show high levels of curiosity; they eagerly choose and name songs for activities and routines. They recognise their name, identify letters sounds and concentrate for long periods of time. When the time comes, children are very ready for their next stage of learning at school.
