p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Managers are dedicated to ensuring that children receive the very best in care and learning. Staff have many years' experience and are highly qualified. They make excellent use of what they know to respond to children's needs as they arise. Safeguarding is effective. All staff can confidently explain what they would do should they be concerned about a child and recognise when children are at risk of exposure to extreme or radical ideas. Managers and staff regularly reflect on their practice. They make very good use of information about children's learning and progress to decide where and how to improve. Staff have formed strong partnerships with other schools and settings. They are very good at sharing their ethos and information about children to ensure that progress is maintained and any changes are managed smoothly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff know children particularly well. They are very good at adjusting their responses and teaching to match each child's needs. Staff provide lots of opportunities for children to think and solve their own problems. For example, they are patient while children work out how something might fit in a box they find. Staff have high expectations of children and help them to achieve and make continual progress. Staff make careful observations and assessments of what children can do. They plan activities around children's needs and interests. For example, toddlers have lots of resources around them which they use to fill and empty containers as well as explore what different things will do. Staff are very good at modelling new words and phrases, for example when talking about the fire pit and safety. Staff make very good use of resources to help children learn about number. Older children readily add more or take away using different items.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are highly independent and love to learn. They are eager to have a go at putting on their own waterproofs and wellingtons to go outside. Children behave exceptionally well. Older children remind each other to walk along the path so they do not fall. Younger children are very settled. They enjoy close relationships with staff and are confident to seek help or comfort when needed. Children take very good care of their resources, such as the china cups and saucers, and tell each other where things belong when tidying up. Children spend a lot of time outdoors. All areas are enchanting with lots of things to discover and foster curiosity. Children love being among the animals. They talk with enthusiasm about the tortoises, collect the hen's eggs and feed the pig.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make very good progress in their learning and are gaining excellent skills to help them be successful learners. Babies and young toddlers become absorbed in exploring the things they find. They spend ages collecting treasures, working out where they might fit or what they will do. Older children persevere really well with tasks, such as playing a number game, talking about the numbers and building the picture. They are excited to cook and talk about the ingredients while learning about the recipe and different weights.
