They provide a stimulating learning environment that ignites children's curiosity and supports them to make rapid progress. Children benefit from prolonged, uninterrupted time to play, space to explore and well-supported opportunities to investigate the world around them. n Staff monitor children's progress meticulously and swiftly identify where children need extra challenge.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an excellent understanding of all aspects of safeguarding and show high levels of vigilance in keeping children safe. Staff morale is high and underpins strong team working. Leaders empower staff to share ideas and, through precisely targeted support, inspire them to create unique and meaningful learning opportunities for children. Staff access frequent training opportunities that are extremely well targeted towards accelerating children's progress. For example, training to support children's higher-level thinking skills has raised staff awareness on working together more effectively with children on tasks. Staff expertly question children to encourage them to problem-solve, which has led to sustained interest in activities and a desire to learn. Recent professional development on challenging children's thinking even further is steadily becoming embedded. Staff have built excellent links with local schools,

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is of a consistently high quality. Staff use their qualifications and experience to plan enriching activities that very successfully target gaps in children's learning, so they achieve to the highest level. Staff observe perceptively and adjust activities expertly to continually extend children's learning as they play. They are highly skilled at weaving a wide range of mathematical concepts throughout the day and children make excellent progress in this area. For example, during a cooking activity older child learn to weigh, compare and make predictions about what they see. Staff promote innovative ways to help children learn phonic sounds, such as through a familiar daily action song. Children skilfully create the letter shape in their movements and confidently link their actions to the letter sounds.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff create a culture of mutual respect, kindness and sensitivity to children's individual needs. This ensures children quickly become resilient learners who develop a strong sense of belonging. Children demonstrate exceptionally positive behaviour and show high levels of consideration for their friends. They cooperate at tasks, such as when negotiating convincingly on the joint design of a construction project. They take care to listen to their friends' ideas and agree jointly on a final outcome. Staff attention to promoting the physical skills of young babies is excellent. Very quickly after settling, non- mobile children develop in confidence and physical development. They eagerly explore the enticing environment. Babies stand supported as they splash enthusiastically in the soapy water and celebrate their achievements in the arms of their key persons.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly motivated, self-assured learners who are eager to learn and join in with activities with great enthusiasm. Younger children quickly develop an extensive vocabulary of new words. Children learn to treat one another with respect, form close friendships and develop excellent social skills. All children, including those who receive additional funding, swiftly develop a wide range of skills that prepare them extremely well for the next stage in their learning.
