The provision is outstanding

n The leadership and management of the organisation work exceptionally well together to improve different aspects of the provision. For example, they have sharpened procedures for staff recruitment, supervision and appraisals to safeguard children. n Staff provide an innovative range of exciting and stimulating resources, indoors and outdoors, that inspires children to learn. For example, very young children independently access a range of interesting natural objects. They use them creatively leading them to their own discoveries when they try to stack them by size or roll them across the room. They observe with excitement and laughter. n Staff have excellent teaching skills and provide a rich well-planned programme of learning opportunities that is precisely tailored to individual children's needs and interests. n Children's progress is meticulously monitored by the manager, who precisely identifies

the strengths and areas of development for groups and individual children. This monitoring information is highly effective at helping staff to provide children with additional challenge and support. Children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make excellent progress from their starting points. n Staff build highly successful links with parents and keep them very well informed of their children's progress. They give parents excellent support to continue children's progress at home. This contributes well to children's outstanding progress in all areas of learning.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The manager and staff are fully committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for children. They have great enthusiasm for continuous improvement and strive to achieve outstanding practice. The manager ensures that staff are skilled to deliver extremely high standards of practice. This assists staff in effectively promoting children's safety, welfare and learning. Safeguarding is effective. The manager checks that staff have an excellent knowledge of child protection and the procedures to follow to help keep children safe. She is highly reflective and constantly evaluates how well children are prepared for the next stage of their development. For example, the manager has reviewed how they prepare children for school, and has vastly improved what they need to know as well as making successful relationships with local schools.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff consistently show children that they greatly respect and value their ideas. Staff inspire children of all ages to work together, share and capture memorable experiences. For example, children think creatively about how to cook a meal for a family, investigate as they read a cookery book and learn what utensils to use. Staff are highly skilled at developing children's vocabulary throughout the day and children make excellent progress in this area. For example, very young children learn to sort, count and recognise animals, and copy the sounds they make. Young children name types of transport using models through role play. Older children learn a range of language to compare textures and aromas as they create shapes with malleable materials, Throughout the day there is excellent transition from one activity to another, but there are moments when this could be smoother, such as at lunchtime.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children behave excellently, and they play harmoniously together. Staff encourage them to take pride in doing things for themselves and to be independent. Children take risks in their learning, such as carefully using sharp knives for cutting their snacks. They develop a sense of responsibility and eagerly tidy away resources. Staff are excellent role models. They encourage fairness and gently remind children of behaviour boundaries. For example, staff use skilful questions to encourage children to appreciate the needs of others. Children spontaneously share and use thoughtful behaviour. They develop an awareness of their environment and enjoy exciting opportunities in the small but well- planned and well-resourced outside area. Staff enthusiastically support children to develop their understanding of a construction site, helping them be safe, find ways to use building blocks and develop understanding of shape and size.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are creative, curious and highly motivated learners. They show high levels of confidence in directing their own learning. For instance, younger children help one another to follow instructions while on a trip in the local community. Older children confidently recall reading and extending their knowledge of numbers with their peers. Children dramatically improve their skills, which prepares them extremely well for the next stage in their learning, such as school.
