The provision is outstanding

Children have a strong sense of belonging in the setting. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive as a result of staff's strong commitment to inclusion, which is at the heart of the ethos of this setting.

The provision is outstanding

Children's behaviour is superb. They show exceptional levels of respect, including for the natural environment during woodland learning sessions. Children thrive in this setting. Their levels of engagement are much higher than expected for their age. For SEND children their engagement in learning is developing rapidly. Children show a love for learning. While staff enchantedly read stories, children become absorbed in the story. Through skilful interactions from staff, children predict what might happen to the characters after the story has finished. The storytelling gives children a sense of wonder and contributes to children's intense love of books and stories.

The provision is outstanding

Children demonstrate the fundamental British values, which they learn through the curriculum. One of the ways they do this is through voting for their preferred book each day by placing a peg on their favourite book each morning when they arrive. This part of the curriculum helps to prepare children for life in modern Britain.

n The curriculum is precisely matched to the needs of the children and it is delivered through a commitment to inclusion. Leaders have constructed a curriculum that is ambitious for all children and it is used by staff to directly tackle the adverse impact that COVID-19 has had on children's development. For example, through staff's rigorous focus on children's personal, social and emotional development and communication and language development in the curriculum, gaps in children's learning close rapidly. n There is a strong focus on broadening children's experiences to help to overcome the adverse impact that COVID-19 has had. For instance, children benefit significantly from regular visits from 'farm on wheels' to help to give children the opportunity to meet and care for different animals. This builds on children's understanding of the world and provides experiences that some children have not experienced because of COVID-19.

n Children with SEND flourish in this setting. They benefit significantly from a passionate and committed special educational needs and disabilities coordinator, who is an advocate for SEND children. Their progress from their starting points is rapid, which is aided further by the secure bond children develop quickly with their key person. n Online safety is considered as an integral part of the safeguarding arrangements of this setting as well as the planned curriculum. Children benefit from teaching

8 December 2022 that helps them to understand about appropriate content, limited screen time, but also how to respond to concerns about their own safety online and who to report concerns to, such as trusted adults. n The supervision arrangements for staff are highly effective at maintaining outstanding practice for experienced staff and giving the support required to less-experienced staff to help them too quickly improve practice. Supervision has a positive impact to help newly appointed staff to obtain new knowledge and skills. This includes communicating with children at their level to aid their communication and language development. n Leaders remain ambitious to help to maintain and build on outstanding practice. They have used their evaluation of feedback from parents and discussions with staff from the host school, as well as their own observations of staff practice, to accurately identify the key areas of strength and ongoing developments to

support less-experienced staff. They have a vision for inclusion for every child. n Leaders make effective use of additional funding they receive for children. Leaders understand the needs of children very well and use funding to target interventions for children, including their speech and language development. This effective use of funding helps children to make rapid progress, including in the regulation of their behaviour. n The quality of staff interactions is superb. Staff consistently introduce new vocabulary to children in their teaching. For example, staff teach children the meaning of the word 'habitat' to describe the array of resources and physical and living elements in the woodland area, to support the survival of woodland animals during winter months.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The culture of safeguarding is embedded across this setting. The provider takes a vigilant approach to safeguarding. She, alongside staff, have a good insight into the risks experienced by children, such as domestic abuse and grooming. There are robust procedures in place to help to manage safeguarding, including safer recruitment and the management of allegations. Staff can identify and know how to help children and their families to access appropriate services. The curriculum plans extend to teaching children how to keep safe, including how to identify hazards and what steps to take to reduce risks. This equips children with the knowledge and skills to help to keep themselves safe.
