Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff keep updated with changes in child protection legislation. They have an excellent understanding of the process to follow if they have concerns about children's welfare. Managers have extensive recruitment, induction and appraisal procedures in place, to ensure all staff are suitable for their roles. Managers lead the staff team well. They provide exceptional support through peer observations, one-to-one supervisions and meetings. The manager and staff are passionate about deepening their professional knowledge and providing the best outcomes for all children. For example, innovative training on how to extend on children's patterns of learning has helped staff build on their excellent practice. Staff work superbly with a wide range of other professionals. However, they do not always encourage parents to share their children's learning from home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff make accurate and precise observations and assessments of children's progress. They are wonderfully tuned into children's thinking and extend learning experiences admirably. Staff use every opportunity to support children's language skills. They listen with great interest to what children are saying and engage them in extensive discussions. Children develop an excellent knowledge of early mathematics. For example, children eagerly count and apply their exceptional understanding of shapes, weight, size and numbers during daily activities. Staff are adept at supporting children to be imaginative. For example, children become completely absorbed as they pretend to refuel their vehicles. They squeal with delight as they wash their toy cars. Staff provide exceptional opportunities for children to develop their early writing skills. Children are inspired to write about zoo animals. They competently write their names.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children flourish and develop excellent levels of emotional well-being and confidence. Their welfare and safety are at the heart of everything the staff do. Children are exceptionally confident and independent, and they build excellent relationships with all staff. Staff superbly encourage children to become independent. They utilise every opportunity to discuss healthy eating. Children have an abundance of opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, they have great fun digging and exploring outside. They learn about plants and living creatures, and thoroughly enjoy making a 'worm house'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children consistently make excellent progress in readiness for school. Any children who have lower than expected starting points make particularly rapid and sustained progress. Children have a highly impressive grounding in literacy. They look at copious amounts of books, love well-told stories, and most can read simple sentences, text and words.
