Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children move around the setting with self-assurance and faith. They know they are well cared for and are happy in their environment. Children enjoy participating in activities that interest them and complement the skills they have learnt in school. Staff offer children exciting opportunities that keep them thoroughly engaged and motivated in their learning. Older children clearly enjoy being buddies to younger children and share their expertise and knowledge in games to help them learn new ideas. Children delight in playing board games with staff. They discuss colour mixing, mathematical concepts and problem-solve together. Time to relax and refresh their minds is offered to all children. They can spend time reading in a quiet area or socialising in role play with staff close at hand for a friendly chat. Staff listen to children and give them a voice, meaning children have a great sense of belonging and purpose.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children have ample opportunities for outdoor play and exploration. They enjoy physical play and spend time investigating the fantastic woodland area they have access to. Staff support their play and interests, looking at ways to extend their activities and make their games more challenging to support the acquisition of new skills. Children have complete ownership of the setting. They access resources with ease, are able to use the various areas for their activities and enjoy the independence they are given. Children socialise and take delight in each other's company during meal times. They carefully prepare, serve and clear away after themselves, showing great independence and confidence. Staff nurture kindness and an understanding of each other in children. They celebrate their uniqueness and explore various cultures and world festivals. This helps children to be respectful, understanding and accepting of an individual's differences and beliefs.
