"Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a very thorough knowledge of child protection and the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child. Leaders ensure staff are trained to an incredibly high standard and are extremely knowledgeable with regard to their roles in keeping children safe."

"Staff carry out precise observations and assessments of children's learning and use this information to enrich children's experiences. Excellent interactions and highly skilful questioning encourages children to fully explore their own ideas and make links in their learning. High regard is given to developing children's communication skills. Staff consistently model language effectively and provide an engaging narrative to play, repeating vocabulary and extending sentences. Children become fully immersed in the learning opportunities offered."

"Staff know children exceedingly well. They are very kind and considerate and have
developed deep bonds with children. Children's emotional well-being is fabulously
supported."

"Children's independence is wonderfully nurtured."

"All children make high rates of progress from their starting points. They consistently demonstrate a can-do attitude to learning. Children confidently count, recognise numbers in the environment and talk about size and shape. Older children listen to the sounds in words and write the letters they represent. Children engage in activities which ensure they have skills to support their move on to school."
