The provision is outstanding

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff are extremely vigilant about children's safety and have an excellent understanding of child protection and wider safeguarding issues. The exceptional induction, monitoring and professional development opportunities have an extremely positive impact on staff's teaching. The highly focused supervisory meetings ensure staff receive very detailed feedback on their practice. The manager greatly inspires and encourages staff to continue their own learning through further qualifications and training.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide truly inspirational teaching and a very purposeful environment that greatly enhances children's learning inside and outdoors. Staff make highly accurate assessments of children's learning and know the children exceptionally well. This enables them to plan excellent and very interesting activities that constantly challenge children and ensure they flourish. For example, a focus on children's physical development and strengthening of the shoulder and arm muscles has supported children's ability to begin to write exceptionally well. Staff integrate their discussions superbly into children's conversations and teaching flows effortlessly. For example, children discover letters in the environment and sound out words. Children who learn English as an additional language express themselves extremely well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thrive in this highly inclusive learning environment. For example, children celebrate and respect each other's differences as they engage in activities that explore different festivals, cultures and faiths in depth. Staff set very clear and consistent boundaries, and children know the rules. Children are very emotionally capable and resilient. Their behaviour is exemplary. Children have an excellent understanding about the importance of being healthy. Staff very skilfully teach them about the effects of exercise on their bodies as they feel their heart beating after moving to music.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop important skills that prepare them extremely well for the next stage of their learning and the move to school. Older children show a genuine interest in mathematics. For example, they use mathematical language, such as 'predict' and 'estimate', and very confidently count up to 20. Younger children very confidently count in sequence and recognise some familiar numbers, such as their age.
