p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The leadership team is passionate about ensuring that the staff employed show a positive attitude and commitment to working with children. Leaders follow robust recruitment procedures to help to ensure the suitability of staff. The focus on training for staff has had a significant impact on staff's knowledge about how to support children's emotional development. This has led to stronger communication between staff and contributes greatly to children's well-being. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have an excellent understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about children's welfare. They complete detailed risk assessments and ensure that they are highly vigilant of children at all times.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children relish in joining in with the activities planned for them. For example, they have fun discovering about continents and different countries within these. Children gain a range of skills to support their formal learning at school. For instance, they confidently use a variety of materials to make masks representing animals and artefacts from Africa. Children calculate the amount of sequins and paint they will need to decorate the items that they make. Staff extend children's communication skills and promote their confidence in speaking in front of others. For example, young children are encouraged to explain to all children why they have been given special stickers by the dentist.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children quickly become engaged in activities of their choice. They are extremely well behaved. Staff set high expectations of children, and children are fully involved in discussions about the importance of these. Children show kindness towards each other. They consider everyone's safety when playing ball games. Staff promote children's good health extremely well. For instance, they help them to reflect on the changes to their bodies following physical exercise, such as the increase in their heartbeat. Children demonstrate an exceptional understanding about how this helps their muscles, and they know that by playing a quieter game their heartbeats will return to normal.
