Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The manager checks on staff's performance extremely well, such as through regular, thorough supervision arrangements. She carefully plans opportunities for them to enhance their expert knowledge, finds out what their individual professional development needs are, and develops their interactions with children to an outstanding level. The manager enthusiastically seeks and eagerly acts on the advice of others, including parents, to help continuously improve the provision for children. For instance, she readily reviewed the types of food provided for children at mealtimes following suggestions from parents, to provide children with an even healthier range of food choices and deepen their understanding of healthy lifestyles. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff are highly vigilant and clearly understand their duty to protect children. They confidently know how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children eagerly play in a very welcoming and extremely well-organised environment. Staff expertly support children's confidence and ability to make choices. For instance, they have thoughtfully created a visual catalogue of the setting's resources for children to use to communicate to staff what they want to play with, to contribute to the very interesting and highly stimulating activities planned for children. Children relish creating collages and making their own pictures based on topics they are keen to explore. They carefully use tools to create with excellent control and have many opportunities to practise the skills they are learning at school to contribute to their development. However, the manager recognises that there is scope to enhance some activities to offer children further opportunities to think of their own ideas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff encourage positive behaviour at all times. For example, they consistently smile and uses polite language and act as excellent role models for children. Children behave exceptionally well. They play very cooperatively without intervention from staff and are considerate and kind to each other. Children are highly independent, are thoughtful and are keen to help. They are exceedingly eager to help during mealtimes, such as serving food to others, and act in a highly responsible manner. They behave sensibly and develop high levels of self-esteem. The manager aims for the highest standards of care. For instance, she seeks guidance and carries out thorough research, implementing what she has learned, to embed exemplary healthy lifestyle practices and ensure children's welfare.
