p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff follow very robust procedures and clearly understand their duty to keep children safe, ensuring children are always extremely well supervised and cared for. Leaders check on staff performance extremely well, such as through thorough supervisory arrangements. They carefully plan opportunities for them to enhance their in-depth knowledge, such as through targeted training sessions to help maintain outstanding teaching. Leaders actively seek and keenly act on the advice of others, such as other early years professionals, to help continuously improve provisions for children. They implement very successful systems to help support children in making continual progress. Staff quickly recognise and reduce any identified gaps in children's development to help them maintain their excellent rates of progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are highly confident and motivated to explore in a highly stimulating, well- organised environment. They relish exploring the 'Grow Wild' area of the environment and have excellent opportunities to develop their high levels of independence and learn how to do things skilfully for their age. For instance, children are able to expertly solve problems so they are able to move equipment safely. Staff know their key children's abilities exceedingly well and are highly responsive to their individual needs. They capture children's attention during activities brilliantly. For example, they carefully observe children's interests and extend this providing an arrangement of interesting mark-making props to explore and add to children's curiosity, while skilfully enhancing their early writing skills. However, leaders recognise that the use of children's home languages in their play could be enhanced to help aid children's learning experiences

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are visibly happy and behave exceptionally well. They learn how to sensibly use equipment, while successfully learning how to manage risks. For instance, children carefully balance and climb on the apparatus in the setting, while boosting their physical skills and self-esteem. Children have an exceptional range of opportunities to learn about themselves and others. For example, staff embrace the different backgrounds of families and provide resources linked to their culture to help children deeply understand their uniqueness and to help support high levels of mutual respect.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children are extremely well prepared for their next steps in learning and school. Older children develop excellent literacy skills, such as giving meaning to the marks they make. They learn in depth about the outdoors and develop their understanding of the world excellently. Younger children are curious and explore the environment independently.
