Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The small team of two managers work exceedingly closely with each other. They are committed to delivering the highest standards of care to children and their families. They have a strong impulse to continually improve and seek an extensive variety of training courses. The managers work closely with the local authority advisory team, immediately taking action on any advice they are given, such as strengthening the already excellent links with school, to share even more information about children's learning. Relationships with the host school are very strong. The managers have identified that although they observe each other's practice and give constructive criticism to each other they would like to develop their first-rate interactions even further. The managers both have a deep understanding of how to keep children safe. They attend safeguarding training regularly and understand wider issues of child protection. Both managers have a thorough

understanding of safeguarding procedures and where to refer any concerns they have about children's welfare. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use their qualifications and understanding of how children develop extremely well. They create a vibrant environment to enrich children's learning in school. For example, they support children incredibly well to explore the natural environment outdoors to find resources and create a suitable habitat for jungle animals. This expertly complements their topic at school of 'The Magnificent World.' The managers liaise exceptionally well with teachers at school about children's progress and plan meticulously to support children to achieve their next steps in learning. Parents are fully included in the life of the setting and share their aspirations for their children. This highly effective sharing of information provides superb support to enable children to reach their potential.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff have superior knowledge of children and their individual needs. Both managers work in the host school and see all children they care for throughout the day. Relationships between the manager and children are exemplary. Children have high levels of confidence and their emotional well-being is of utmost priority. The managers deploy themselves wonderfully to successfully meet the individual needs of children. Children are highly caring and extremely considerate of others. They have made secure friendships with others and take a genuine interest in how each other's day has been. Children display exceptional warmth towards each other. Children have an abundance of opportunities to develop their physical skills. For instance, they play ball games extremely cooperatively outside and have a huge space to run and exert energy.
