trained to an advanced level in child protection. This helps them to implement highly effective safeguarding systems. Managers plan to further extend opportunities for younger children to enjoy writing activities outdoors.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children enjoy a wealth of exciting experiences that helps to complement the learning that takes place in school. Staff liaise with teachers and discuss topics being taught during the school day. They use this information particularly well to provide highly stimulating activities that interest children and support their learning. Staff very skilfully build on young children's knowledge of colour and classification skills. For example, girls persist in their self-chosen tasks and concentrate incredibly well in sorting vehicles into sets based on the different spectrums of colour. The manager involves professional artists to work with children to design the images on the outside of the building. Older children enjoy writing lists of words that rhyme, and they create copious amounts of artwork. Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported exceptionally well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely well cared for in the setting. Superb levels of staffing help to ensure that staff are always close by to engage with children. Staff provide extensive opportunities for children to play outdoors. Older and younger children work very cooperatively together and are motivated to build and adapt obstacle courses. Staff challenge children to move their bodies in creative ways. Children slither and hop like frogs on balancing beams. Children play football, do cartwheels and ride proficiently on scooters. They display excellent navigational and physical skills. Staff provide children with independent access to cold water and an excellent range of nutritious meals for them to choose from and order as they enter the setting. This supports children's individual preferences extremely well. Staff make mealtimes very social occasions as they sit with children and take time to talk with them about their day at school.
