Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff have an excellent understanding of their responsibilities to report any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff are extremely vigilant and deploy themselves highly effectively, for example to reduce any restrictions to children's learning when they choose to play outside. Leaders direct strong recruitment and induction processes. Staff are exceptionally well supported to further their teaching skills, such as to lead forestry skills and to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Leaders are excellent at recognising staff's talents and use every opportunity to share these to improve practice. Leaders evaluate the provision extremely well and identify actions for improvements with precision, such as to develop the outside play space. Leaders encourage parents' involvement wholeheartedly and keep them extremely well informed about their children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

There are highly effective systems to monitor children's progress. Staff expertly plan, ensuring all children develop the skills they require to help them catch up when gaps arise. They skilfully engage children in activities and spontaneously adapt them to include all children at their level and to follow their ideas. For instance, staff superbly foster children's deep curiosity as they explore a highly interactive Christmas activity, which covers all areas of children's learning. On rare occasions, staff miss opportunities to manage children's ever-growing enthusiasm as the group size increases. Staff inspire children to develop their concentration and listening skills superbly during dynamic small- group activities. Children listen intently to a familiar story and decide together which stick they will use for the different family members. Staff question children highly effectively to support their communication and language skills exceedingly well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Highly nurturing staff work closely with parents to get to know the children extremely well and meet their care needs with great efficiency. For example, settling-in arrangements are tailored to meet the children's needs expertly. Staff are highly respectful and support children in their chosen play, valuing their choices and ideas. They encourage children exceedingly well to share their skills and teach each other. For instance, children are encouraged to share a new-found skill of making circular wheels for the clay train. Children communicate the process highly effectively.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children become absorbed and show extremely positive attitudes towards learning and developing their skills. They confidently explore their environment and develop very good physical skills. For example, children gather similar sized sticks to create a nest and manipulate the clay to create tree models. They communicate exceptionally well, for example, explaining how their noise has probably frightened the birds away. Children relish numerical challenges, for example, how to combine numerals to make larger numbers. They enthusiastically label the parcels for Father Christmas to deliver. Children gain the confidence and skills they need for starting school exceedingly well and make exceptional progress from the individual starting points.
