very confident in extending how and what children learn. This is evident as staff help children recall popular stories, such as 'The three little pigs', as children build outdoor dens. As a result, children identify what their house is made of and confidently recite popular phrases they remember from the story. n Children have incredible attention spans. All children are very willing to join in with their activities and are extremely eager to learn. They lead their learning. This includes, for example, making their own choices about what they want to learn and planning with staff what they want to appear in their achievement journals. n Parents are extremely positive about the care their children receive.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The provider uses secure systems for the recruitment of staff. She is highly reflective of procedures that help ensure staff suitability. She extends this incredibly well through highly focused supervision and extremely effective mentoring for apprentices. Staff benefit from training to support their knowledge of embedding children's speech and language. Those embarking on further professional qualifications, state passionately that they are fully motivated to enhance their skills and knowledge further. Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of all safeguarding matters. They are very clear about their responsibilities to protect children. Partnerships with other professionals are well established. Systems to continually evaluate the provision are secure. Staff are very willing to adapt practice to enhance outcomes for children.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Dedicated staff plan exceptionally well for children, offering a highly interesting and stimulating range of activities. Inspirational staff confidently extend what children already know. This is apparent when children show staff twigs they collect and depict as letters. Staff extend children's literacy awareness, helping them identify that this could, for example, represent a 'n'. Children respond confidently, 'N for nanny'. During their activity to harvest rhubarb, staff help children learn new terms, such as 'stems'. They guide their understanding of how to twist the produce out the ground. Children are independent thinkers. They suggest getting wheelbarrows to transport what they harvest. Staff review children's attainment on a regular basis. Planning for children's next steps in learning is precise. Nevertheless, the provider acknowledges that even more can be achieved to develop the existing arrangements for getting children ready for starting

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Warm and caring staff proactively strengthen the ways children show respect for each other. They purposefully plan group activities for older children that skilfully encourage listening skills. This results in children remaining fully attentive and thoroughly enjoying discussions and singing activities. Staff are highly encouraging with helping children take pride in their own achievements. Children benefit from exceptionally healthy lifestyles gained through regular outdoor learning experiences both in the garden and around the farm where it is based. Staff use very high standards of care to promote the individual needs of babies, who demonstrate security and emotional well-being.

p.4

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop an exceptionally broad range of skills that support the next stages of their learning. Younger children acquire extremely good communication skills. They are very confident at choosing rhymes and songs to sing, know many words and are eager to copy the actions. Younger children show dexterity and self-awareness as they negotiate physical play apparatus. Older children show high levels of curiosity for the natural world. They look at pictures of insects, understanding what a maggot will turn into and that a glow-worm has a light at the end of its body. Children independently measure their pieces of rhubarb to work out who has the longest piece.
