p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The committed manager is highly reflective. She makes excellent use of monitoring practice to make precise improvement plans towards the quality of the provision. She intends to continue to monitor the quality of teaching to maintain the highest standards. The manager and staff carefully analyse the progress of groups of children to identify and close any gaps in their learning. The manager places an extremely high priority on the well-being of staff and children. Staff receive excellent support to consistently promote positive outcomes for children. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a robust understanding of their responsibilities to protect children from harm. They know how to refer any concerns they may have about a child's welfare. The manager ensures that staff are up to date with safeguarding issues. For instance, she discusses safeguarding policy during staff meetings and organises quizzes to keep staff knowledge current.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is of a consistently high standard. Staff skilfully recognise where and how to provide appropriate support and encouragement to help sustain children's concentration and enjoyment. This helps children become confident and enthusiastic learners who remain fully motivated and engaged. Staff enable children to make the most out of each learning opportunity and have choice in what they would like to do. For example, pre- school children decide if they would like to eat a snack or continue with the activities they are deeply absorbed in. Staff take every opportunity to extend children's communication and language skills. For example, staff sing songs and gently repeat words back to babies. Staff talk to children as they play and sensitively introduce new words to help extend their vocabulary. As a result, all children become confident communicators.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The caring and nurturing staff superbly support children's well-being. Children make very strong relationships with staff and demonstrate high levels of emotional security. Children are remarkably independent, and staff encourage this. Staff consistently acknowledge children's achievements. This helps to develop their self-esteem and confidence. Children are offered a wide range of healthy and nutritious meals and snacks. Children learn about the importance of remaining healthy. They spend time in the carefully planned and stimulating outdoor area every day. This supports children's all-round development exceptionally well. Older children learn to take calculated risks. They climb on tyres and wooden planks under the close supervision of staff.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those with special educational needs and those who speak English as an additional language, make extensive progress given their starting points. Children develop excellent mathematical understanding. They measure and count during exciting baking activities. Children recognise shapes and use mathematical language to talk about length during building block activities. They are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and school. For example, pre-school children are highly competent at identifying the initial letter sounds of words.
