The provision is outstanding

n Leaders successfully create an inclusive and welcoming environment, which helps to engage all parents in their children's learning. For example, they organise regular events for parents, such as outings to promote learning outdoors and workshops on behaviour and healthy eating. n Leaders supervise and guide staff extremely well, to build on their professional skills and knowledge. Staff speak enthusiastically about the positive impact of training on children's learning. For instance, they describe how they support children who have difficulties with speaking and understanding, using non-verbal methods, such as signing and picture cards. n The well-qualified staff provide a highly interesting and stimulating learning environment, which captures children's imaginations and enthusiasm for learning. n Children learn to solve problems and develop their thinking skills. For instance, when children discover a 'mystery object' in the class, staff encourage them to share their

ideas about what it might be and to try out their ideas. n Staff provide a very safe, nurturing environment and develop extremely close relationships with the children.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Leaders constantly reflect on the quality of the service and how they can further raise the outcomes for children. They closely monitor the progress of individual and groups of children, to ensure that any gaps in learning are rapidly closing. They use sharply focused plans to maintain an inspirational learning environment. For example, a recent initiative has helped to raise the standard of boys' literacy skills to the same high levels achieved by girls. Leaders have planned additional improvements to the exceptional garden areas, to further enhance children's learning outdoors. Safeguarding is effective. Managers and staff have a thorough understanding of how to keep children safe. They know how to recognise signs that a child may be at risk from harm and report any concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is of a consistently high standard. Staff are highly skilled in supporting children's language and social skills, including where children's progress is not as expected. For example, they provide focused, small-group sessions to further enhance children's progress. Staff develop strong links with other professionals to ensure that children get the specialised support they need. They use additional funding effectively to cater for children's individual needs and contribute to their excellent progress. Staff use comprehensive systems to accurately monitor children's progress. They get to know the children extremely well and use their knowledge of children's individual abilities, interests and preferences to plan for their ongoing learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff successfully teach children to understand boundaries for behaviour. For example, they explain to children how their actions affect others and show them how to solve disagreements using words. Children play together harmoniously, and their behaviour is exemplary. Toddlers learn how to share and take turns with resources, and older children develop strong friendships with their peers. Staff are exceptionally good at promoting healthy lifestyles for children and their excellent work has been recognised by their local authority. For example, they encourage children to be active and learn useful physical skills, such as how to ride a two-wheeled bicycle. Children benefit from meals which are healthy and balanced, and include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress from their individual starting points. This includes children who receive additional funding, those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, and children who speak English as an additional language. They develop a wide range of skills and knowledge, which supports them in the next stages in their learning, including being ready to start school. Children confidently explore the natural environment, they use resources imaginatively and begin to recognise and manage risks safely.
