Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The leadership and management team is passionate about providing the highest quality care and education they can. They offer excellent opportunities for professional development through regular training and coaching. This has a direct impact on staff confidence and ability to consistently provide the highest standards of teaching. The manager monitors and enhances staff's teaching skills outstandingly well. Staff receive three supervisions which focus on different aspects of practice; safeguarding, teaching and children's outcomes. Scrupulous monitoring of teaching and children's progress means any potential gaps in children's learning are planned for and closed. The manager has identified the need to enhance her relationship with the local school even more. She wants to further evaluate the impact of staff's teaching on children's outcomes once they have moved on to nursery. This will provide vital information about how staff can

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff make highly accurate assessments of children's learning and know the children exceptionally well. They have a high level of awareness of children's different needs and capabilities. They are excellent at differentiating their teaching to maximise children's learning. Staff expertly know when to give children time to think and use hand signals to further support their understanding. Boys develop early literacy skills and a love for making marks as they draw running tracks with chalk on the pavement. Staff provide wonderful opportunities for children to develop their imagination and acquire life skills, such as a fantastic role-play kitchen with fresh produce outside. Children take on roles and learn all about the importance of healthy eating.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff organise superb opportunities for children to familiarise themselves with the routines and key persons before they start. Parents are offered home visits and settling- in sessions that are tailored to meet the individual needs of children. Children build secure attachments with their key person. Staff have exceptionally positive attitudes to children, which help children to feel emotionally secure. They empower children to make their own decisions, to clearly understand right from wrong and to develop close friendships with other children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language make exceptionally good progress. Detailed plans are in place to support children who may be at risk of not meeting typical levels of development. Through intensive support, they make rapid progress and catch up very quickly. Fantastic links with nursery schools help children to be ready to move on to their next stage of learning.
