This provision is outstanding

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Staff receive excellent support, guidance and training to help ensure their teaching and knowledge meet the high standards management expect. Reflection is used exceptionally effectively to evaluate and develop this high-quality provision. For example, this has led to plans to introduce new ways to further enhance mathematical skills. Staff make informative literature available to support parents, and are planning to share with them a greater number of ideas about how to encourage children's learning at home. Safeguarding is effective. Robust systems help ensure the suitability of staff. Staff know how to recognise and report any concerns about children's welfare. They teach children about potential risks and how to use items safely.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff recognise the individuality of each child in this vibrant setting. They adapt their interactions superbly to provide an inclusive learning environment where children participate at a level suitable to their needs. For example, in a group game, children benefit as they learn to take turns, others to recall and pronounce words, and others practise their physical skills as they stand, sit and turn. Innovative resources encourage children to demonstrate increasing ingenuity and imagination. For instance, children hear a story that includes bricks and straw, then feel the texture and weight of real bricks and straw. Later they find ways to transport and build with bricks, talking about size and position as they play. Staff skilfully supervise, encourage and extend learning through their thoughtful questions and comments. An enhanced variety of books, including comic annuals, has led to an increased interest in literacy for children who did not initially show

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children demonstrate exceptional levels of self-confidence as they freely make choices about their play. They ask questions and listen attentively to the answers. Staff talk to the children about their individual achievements and reward them for their efforts. Children show an increasing awareness of a healthy lifestyle. For example, they explain to others why they must wash their hands before they eat, and that eating fruit is good for their bodies. A sense of well-being is very successfully fostered, particularly through lots of outdoor activity. Children learn about the world around them as they explore the local countryside, grow items in the garden, meet people who help the community and learn about cultural events.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their learning. They are increasingly independent, curious and highly motivated learners who thoroughly enjoy investigating all that is on offer. Children learn to share and help each other. They are linking their knowledge to help them successfully complete tasks.
