Summary of key findings:
  • The provider has an excellent understanding of her role and responsibilities. She has an exceptional drive to ensure all areas of the setting maintain the highest possible standard. She is very perceptive in her self-evaluation processes to ensure that she continually develops and improves the provision further.
  • The provider uses additional funding exceptionally well. For example, she identifies children’s specific needs and sources relevant staff training to ensure that children achieve their best possible outcome. Children make consistently high rates of progress in relation to their starting points.
  • The quality of teaching is outstanding. Staff are highly receptive to children’s individual needs and abilities. They are very efficient in maintaining children’s attention and engagement in activities.
  • Staff work exceptionally well to engage parents in their children’s learning. For example, they provide regular parents’ meetings, home learning resources, home visits and ‘very important people’ days. This efficiently supports parents to continue their children’s learning at home.
  • Staff are highly effective in helping children learn about behaviour expectations. For instance, they ask them to think about other children’s feelings and what will happen if they run inside. This helps children learn to behave extremely well.
