Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a very secure knowledge of the action to take if they have concerns about a child's welfare. Regular and rigorous supervisory meetings and excellent training opportunities are thoroughly effective and embedded. The well- qualified staff are inspirational. They have a real thirst to continue to extend their knowledge and skills. For example, staff have recently accessed training in 'helicopter stories' to support children's imagination, storytelling and concentration. The manager and staff monitor children's development very effectively. Furthermore, they recognise the importance of continuing to analyse information about groups of children to ensure the outstanding success of all children. Staff recognise the importance of continually finding ways to help extend all children's play to maintain the excellent outcomes in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide children with highly motivational opportunities to develop their creative skills. For example, safe and extremely well-managed mark-making experiences with powder paint lead to fun face-painting experiments. Parents receive accurate and timely information about their children's development. The highly stimulating environment gives children excellent opportunities for active play and learning. For example, a nurturing activity supports children to share ideas with each other as they think about how cars will roll down a track. Older children are keen to tell younger children that they need to go to the top. Staff extend and enhance this learning to support children. They use mathematical language to encourage children to think about positional language, such as 'top' and 'bottom', and support them with colour recognition. Children are keen to engage in the helicopter story session, as they pretend to move and walk in different

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff pay meticulous attention to understanding each child. Their exemplary use of the key-person system means that children settle quickly and build very secure bonds with their key person. Children enjoy regular fresh air in the exciting and well-planned outdoor area. They engage gleefully in energetic play to develop their physical skills and promote their understanding of healthy lifestyles. Children are superb problem solvers and have a secure understanding of how to keep themselves safe. They think logically as they manoeuvre bicycles around the outdoor area, conscious of other children and where they are playing.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All groups of children, including those in receipt of funding and those with lower than typical starting points, make substantial progress from the start of their placement. Children explore the environment with great enthusiasm, confidence and excitement. They develop high levels of communication skills, contributing to conversations and expressing their own ideas and feelings. Children are exceptionally well prepared for their future learning, including their move on to school.
