Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The manager values her staff tremendously. She actively encourages them to constantly build on their skills. For instance, recent training in letters and sounds has had an immense impact on children's confidence in early reading, writing and communication. The manager seeks the views of everyone and has excellent systems in place to evaluate the provision. She has plans to enhance the already excellent outdoor space to make it even more exciting for children.

are worried about the welfare of a child.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff complete accurate assessments of children's achievements and plan precisely for their future learning. Activities scrupulously match children's current enthusiasms and interests. Children thoroughly enjoy extremely exciting hands-on construction activities and learn how to use tools for a purpose. For instance, staff encourage children to help to build a 'Busy Board' for the nursery garden. Children use their excellent mathematical skills, demonstrated when they determine how many screws they need to fix parts to the board. They work out simple problems, such as the correct distances between working parts to ensure that these fit together properly. Children learn how to handle tools safely, illustrated when they carefully control the speed that the screwdriver turns. They learn complex words, such as 'horizontal', to help to extend their excellent vocabulary.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide exciting, fun-filled activities that help children to lead exceptionally healthy lives. For example, children thoroughly enjoy daily 'Shake and Wake' exercise sessions. Staff teach them that physical exertion helps to increase blood flow and provide more oxygen to their brain to help them to learn. Children follow excellent hygiene routines and very competently do things for themselves. For example, children make their own snacks, such as fruit kebabs. They talk with great excitement about what is healthy. Children know to cut grapes in half before they eat them to keep themselves very safe, stating, 'I might choke'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop astounding mathematical skills. For instance, they recognise and name numerals above 1000. Children complete simple sums, such as addition and subtraction, with confidence and accuracy. They consistently contribute their own ideas and thoughts to conversations and are excellent communicators. Children spend much of their time outdoors. They learn to take age-appropriate risks, demonstrated when they run and climb on equipment. Children constantly challenge themselves, self-assured in their understanding of what they are capable of. They show an outstanding can-do attitude. Children develop excellent key skills needed for future learning.
