Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. All safeguarding requirements are fulfilled and are well understood by the staff team.

The manager is dedicated to developing the skills of the staff team. Staff receive regular monitoring and feedback to enhance their skills, to support children's learning and development further.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff encourage children's language development and skilfully provide a commentary for children's play. They take time to explain and extend children's thinking, and introduce new words to help extend their vocabulary. They have a natural understanding of when to support children's play and when to stand back and observe. Staff promote children's understanding of safety in many ways. For example, older children carry out risk assessments of the garden play space and consider the ways to reduce hazards and risks. Staff's exuberant enthusiasm inspires children's imaginative play. Children climb 'truly magnificent mountains' and search for dinosaurs in the outdoor environment. They show delight as they find them hiding in the mud kitchen. Staff encourage children's mathematical skills in many ways. For example, pre-school children become enthralled while comparing, weighing and measuring as they make play dough. Babies giggle with

delight as they explore sensory trays and become fascinated while playing musical instruments.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely well behaved. Staff are highly attentive to children's emotional well-being. They spend time getting to know children and their families during the settling-in period. Staff use every opportunity to support children and their families, and they embrace the views of everyone who attends the setting. Staff have established highly effective relationships with local school teachers, which helps the children to be superbly prepared for the transfer to school. Staff teach children remarkably well about healthy living and provide them with innovative physical activities. For example, children have 'wake-up and shake-up' sessions. Children's self-help skills continually blossom. For example, they use the 'Sniffle Station' to clean their noses and check they are clean in the mirror before washing their hands.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are exceptionally confident and highly motivated to learn. They develop skills that will support them with the next stage of their learning. For example, older children learn to consider the views of others and vote on their favourite books for story time. From a young age babies learn to handle books carefully and enjoy singing with the staff team. Children acquire extremely good early mathematical skills. Children are very well prepared for the next stage in their education.
