Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is outstanding • Outcomes for children are excellent. Children are extremely well prepared for their future learning and eventual move onto school.

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make rapid progress from their starting points. • Teaching is inspirational and highly responsive to children's needs. The manager deploys her staff exceptionally well.

For example, she considers the skills of her team and the languages that staff speak. She places staff in teams where their skills complement each other perfectly. This helps staff to precisely support the language and communication needs of all children.

• Manag...ers have fully embedded processes to monitor and support staff. The manager observes staff regularly and gives them extensive feedback on their performance. She conducts a robust cycle of termly supervision meetings and annual appraisals.

Room leaders encourage their teams to observe each other, which helps staff to share best practice and raise the high quality of their teaching even further. • Tracking of children's progress is highly effective. For instance, each key person precisely assesses and then analyses the progress of their key children.

Managers ask probing questions about progress in all areas. They swiftly identify any concerns and help staff to identify the most significant next steps and most effective strategies to support individuals. This is helping children to make superb progress.

• Staff promote children's independence and self-care skills to the highest level. For example, children of all ages learn to wipe their noses at 'nose-wiping stations' in each room. Staff show children how to hold a toothbrush and how to brush their teeth and children learn to pour water into their cups at 'water stations' extremely confidently.

• The management team is extremely passionate about continually improving the provision. Since the last inspection, they have made considerable changes to the building, such as improving the use of the playrooms used by children. This has helped to create an exemplary provision for children.
