They display an excellent knowledge of child protection procedures to follow should they suspect a child is at risk of harm. They implement effective processes to record children's attendance and develop incredibly secure entry systems to further assure children's safety. Children's learning and development is accurately and methodically monitored. Any gaps in children's development are swiftly identified. Staff foster excellent partnerships with parents and other professionals to successfully personalise support for individual children. The staff are highly effective in designing extremely tailored activities to help all children progress and close any specific gaps in learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff extend children's learning to the highest level. Children are eager to join in and have excellent listening and concentration skills. Young children display exceptional mathematical skills as they recognise, count and understand the sequence of numbers. Older children are learning to count to 100. Staff expertly challenge children to think about how they would write numbers. Young children accurately identify how they would write the number 23. Children are highly motivated and meticulously develop detailed patterns and designs. Staff ask superb questions as they use children's interests to expertly extend their understanding of circles, semi-circles and fractions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide a vibrant and inviting learning environment that is skilfully planned to ignite children's imagination, curiosity and independence skills. Children's behaviour is impeccable. They develop extremely secure emotional relationships with staff, who are admirable role models. Older children develop remarkably warm empathy for younger children. All children have excellent opportunities to develop their physical skills outdoors. They are highly competent at navigating spaces on bicycles and keep themselves safe as they move drainpipes to further develop their play. Staff have created an incredibly inclusive environment where diversity is highly valued and respected. Children visit the elderly people in the community and excitedly welcome a visitor from a pre-school in Uganda that they help to raise money for. Staff intend to provide even more off-site visits to further expand children's already excellent knowledge of the wider world.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Managers use the additional funding they receive to provide the highest-quality teaching and learning experiences. All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities make outstanding progress in their learning. Children display excellent understanding of the world and confidently spell 'Saturn', as they describe the features of the planets in the solar system and explain how the planets circle the sun. Older children name their favourite authors and discuss the characters in the books written by them. Children are exceptionally well prepared for school.
