Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Robust recruitment and induction procedures help ensure staff's suitability to care for the children. Staff have an excellent understanding of safeguarding procedures. They update their safeguarding training regularly and are very clear about the correct procedures to follow if they have any welfare concerns. Leaders provide a lot of support for the local community on safeguarding and healthy living. Leaders, managers and staff have a wealth of experience and work seamlessly together to ensure success for all children. Leaders set challenging targets for staff and monitor their performance very effectively. Leaders and managers seriously act on the views and comments of staff, parents, children and outside professionals to continually provide and maintain an excellent service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff gain relevant information from parents. They use their observations and assessments of children to plan excellent experiences to entice children to learn. Staff follow children's interests very effectively and keep children highly motivated. For example, babies love to explore resources to find out how things work. Children are curious as they pile shredded papers and examine their texture and weight. Staff read stories to children. Children learn superb words, sing and dance beautifully to music. Staff interact very effectively with children and fully develop their communication and language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are excellent role models for the children. They show a lot of enthusiasm in children's play and talk to children about manners such as 'please' and 'thank you'. Children play extremely well and share resources fairly. Staff help children adopt healthy eating habits and carefully meet their dietary requirements. Children enjoy nutritious meals and learn to eat independently. Staff carry out thorough regular safety checks and help children manage risks that are appropriate to their age. Children enjoy superb outdoor facilities that fully support their physical health. Children develop a very good understanding of other cultures and people around them. Leaders now have considered increasing the range of labels and scripts in different languages to further extend children's knowledge of the cultural diversity around them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make excellent progress and any gaps in learning close rapidly. Children who speak English as an additional language or those with special educational needs equally make significant gains. Babies eagerly socialise with others and learn to handle toys with care. Children listen carefully and have excellent attitudes to learning. They count, sort and match objects, developing very good skills to solve problems.
