Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The manager uses a robust supervision programme to continually monitor and improve the already exceptional practice. She sets extremely high standards and creates a positive environment for staff to excel. Partnerships with parents are exceptionally strong and the leaders find innovative ways to engage them. Parents play an active role in their child's learning and staff support this by sharing activities they can continue at home. The manager recognises the importance of these partnerships and plans to extend these links further. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are confident in spotting signs and symptoms of abuse and radicalisation and they know how to respond to support children's welfare. The manager develops this confidence through scenario-based discussions with staff on a regular basis.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The highly skilled staff have a thorough understanding of children's development. Staff use a wide range of assessment information and children's ideas to expertly develop activities to meet children's needs and interests. There is a remarkable range of stimulating activities on offer. Staff use a variety of strategies to skilfully support children's communication and language development. They share stories, use props for discussion and talk about children's home lives. Children are highly motivated and keen to join in with these conversations, including children who speak English as an additional language. Staff are spontaneous and expertly consider how to support children's development as they play. They are intuitive in their approach and responsive to children's needs. They offer support and encouragement to children while still allowing them to develop their own ideas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide an extremely welcoming and positive environment. Parents report that relationships with staff are remarkably strong and this supports children to become confident and independent. Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities through strong relationships with other professionals. Children are keen to join activities with other groups to try something new. They show high levels of imagination and sustained concentration through their play. Children have extensive opportunities to develop their physical skills. For instance, they use creative movement to retell stories in the forest area. Staff plan a wide range of experiences for children to become familiar with different cultures and communities. For instance, parents share cultural stories and cook traditional food with children, and staff share key words in their own languages.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are active learners and keen to engage with staff. They make excellent progress from their starting points. Staff meticulously monitor achievements and take swift action to support all children. For example, children who receive additional funding are expertly tracked to identify needs and drive forward their achievements. Children gain a wide range of skills and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning.
