Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All safeguarding requirements, including those for recruitment, are rigorously fulfilled and are well understood by the staff team. This is due to comprehensive induction and ongoing personal development and training. A balanced approach to risk assessment creates a safe yet challenging environment for the children. The management team has high expectations of itself, staff and children. This has resulted in a captivating environment that ignites children's interests and motivates them to learn. Staff are passionate about their roles within the setting and are highly complimentary about the management team. Consequently, this has resulted in content and happy children who are confident within the setting. The management team recognises the need to continue to extend the already excellent opportunities for outdoor exploration, such as introducing forest school skills to children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff promote children's learning exceptionally well. Insightful observations are regularly shared with parents. They provide a detailed record of children's progress that informs planning and accurately reflects children's needs and interests. The under-twos progress well in the prime areas of physical, communication and language, social and emotional development. They enjoy water play, sing songs and rhymes and listen to stories, imaginatively read by the staff team. Toddlers engage in role play in the outdoor farm shop and are encouraged to test out their ideas through trial and error as they fill their baskets. Staff skilfully ask older children questions to extend their learning and thinking. Children in the pre-school are very curious, highly motivated and eager to learn. They are exceptionally well prepared for the move to school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

A calm, purposeful atmosphere pervades all areas of the setting as staff reinforce good behaviour and effort. Children demonstrate very positive relationships with each other. Children benefit from learning opportunities extended to home, for example, when they take the 'nursery teddy bear' home to share their adventures. Strong, secure relationships between children and staff develop rapidly due to the well-managed key- person system that ensures every child feels valued as an individual.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are enthusiastic learners and show exceptional independence in selecting resources and managing practical tasks. All children, including those in receipt of additional funding, make substantial and continual progress. Children in pre-school learn how to blend letter sounds to build words and enjoy learning about mathematics as they divide the potatoes between themselves at lunchtime. Children approach activities with enthusiasm and become absorbed in their play. They demonstrate very positive relationships with each other.
