The provision is good

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an up-to-date knowledge of current safeguarding concerns and a secure understanding of their role in keeping children safe. They are confident with the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child. The manager and staff closely monitor children's progress. They provide tailored support to address any gaps in learning, to help all children make good progress. The manager supports the professional development of staff effectively, such as through regular staff supervision and training. This helps to raise the quality of practice continually and improve children's learning experiences. For example, following training, staff have enhanced the exploratory and creative play experiences indoors and outdoors.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know individual children very well. They tailor their interactions skilfully to support and progress children's learning during child-initiated and adult-led play. Staff support children's mathematical skills well. For instance, babies learn about size and shape as they explore sensory objects. Older children explore a range of mathematical concepts in meaningful context, such as when making their own play dough and while sorting natural objects. Staff build on children's literacy skills well. For example, children show great interest in books and concentrate for prolonged periods while staff read to them enthusiastically. Children learn to retell stories as they draw detailed illustrations of a book they have enjoyed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children benefit from exceptional opportunities to learn about their community and the wider world. For instance, they learn about a range of emergency services through trips to the local police and rescue service stations. They take part in sculpture trails to learn about local artists and the community in which they live. Staff are passionate about widening children's awareness of diversity. For example, they take exceptional care to teach children the meaning behind religious festivals and cultural traditions. Staff place high priority on children's health and physical well-being. Children enjoy plenty of opportunities to be energetic and develop their physical skills, such as regular physical education, dance and yoga sessions, and going for walks in local large open spaces.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are active and motivated learners. Younger children explore their environment with confidence and make their own choices. Older children focus intently on their chosen activities and use their imaginations and creativity to lead their play. They display high levels of independence, such as tidying toys with great care and looking after their own belongings. All children progress well and are well prepared for their future education.
