Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Managers follow robust recruitment procedures to ensure the suitability of all staff and have made worthwhile changes to training. For example, first-aid training is staggered to ensure staff's qualifications do not all expire together. Managers and staff have a strong understanding of child protection and keep them safe from harm. Safeguarding is effective. Managers are inspiring leaders and provide highly constructive feedback that enhances teaching. Recent training has increased parents' involvement in their children's learning. The deputy visited children at home and helped parents with ideas for enhancing early reading and writing with their children. Managers monitor children's learning meticulously, so they make the best progress of which they are capable.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff observe and assess children's development precisely. They put considerable thought into the planning to ensure all children's interests and next steps are included. Staff skilfully question and set children challenges. For example, when a child's construction collapses staff ask, 'What can you use to strengthen it?' Staff teach children a vast vocabulary, for example, they learn that a helicopter has rotary blades. Staff are extremely effective at working with groups of children with different abilities. They adapt activities to engage all children. Children learn to count very confidently, recognise shapes and sort counters by colour. Staff help older children to write down sums to calculate. They work extremely well with numbers up to ten and beyond.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff help children build a strong sense of belonging. Children take great pride in sharing their news with the inspector. They enjoy talking about their own and their friends' special times with family, such as a new baby who has been poorly. All children's behaviour is exemplary. Children have high levels of respect for staff and their friends. Staff settle children in with dedicated care. One parent commented, 'the progress has been amazing'. The managers develop some partnerships with schools children will move on to, but not all. They will accompany these children with their parents on their first day at school to share what they know about the children. Staff teach children about healthy eating. Children expertly talk about, proteins, carbohydrates, and their five a day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children learn a vast range of skills that prepare them extremely well for their eventual move on to school. They are all highly effective communicators, including children who speak English as an additional language. Children develop excellent early writing skills. They write the names of patients and a prescription for some antibiotics. Children expertly solve problems as they investigate and experiment. For example, they work together to balance blocks to make a bridge. Children learn an excellent range of physical skills. They play football and learn how to tackle, carefully shell peas and broad beans from their pods and learn to use a mallet skilfully to putt a ball through hoops.
