What is it like to attend this early years setting?

The provision is outstanding

Children flourish in this friendly pre-school. Throughout their day, children remain deeply engaged in a wealth of wonderful learning opportunities. This is because staff work exceptionally hard to create an exciting environment based on children's interests and learning needs.

For example, pre-school children have chosen to learn more about worms. Staff support them to use computer equipment safely to gather facts about the features of worms and their habitat. This inspired children to create their own wormery that they feed with the food they recycle daily.

Staff place equally sharp focus on meeting the needs ...of children attending the breakfast and after-school clubs. They skilfully transform the school environment to create safe and stimulating areas for children to explore their interests further. For example, children are making refreshing lemonade to share with their friends.

They explore how adding different quantities of the ingredients alters its taste.Children's behaviour is impeccable. They follow the rules well and support their friends to do the same.

Staff encourage these behaviours superbly. They create group discussions throughout the day, where children remind one another about the importance of listening to others and not shouting out. Children demonstrate immense empathy for others.

They identify when their friends are nervous and offer reassurance, holding their hands and comforting them.

What does the early years setting do well and what does it need to do better?

Children are incredibly confident and look forward to exploring new situations and activities. They enthusiastically welcome visitors and delight at engaging them in conversation and play.

Staff support these wonderful dispositions by creating an environment where children's opinions are valued. Children play a key role in deciding what they learn. They create an 'ideas board' where they document topics that they wish to learn more about.

Staff use these ideas to create opportunities that support children's development across all areas of learning. For example, children develop their mathematical skills by measuring 'spaghetti worms'. They examine their different lengths, ordering them to size and exploring those that are the 'longest' and 'shortest'.

Children demonstrate strong communication skills. They confidently use extensive vocabulary during interactions with their friends and adults. For example, children delight at teaching visitors facts about the features of the worms they have been exploring.

Staff skilfully promote children's language development across every activity and routine in the pre-school. They encourage children to discuss their ideas and thoughts and ensure they have a good understanding of the English language. This prepares children well for their next stage of learning.

Partnerships with parents are of an exceptionally high standard. Parents comment on how well informed they are about children's progress. They praise leaders and staff for the wonderful relationships they form with children.

They acknowledge how this supports children to settle well and enjoy their time in the pre-school and breakfast and after-school clubs.The inspirational leaders are passionate about the care and teaching children receive. Their infectious enthusiasm ensures the entire team demonstrate equal passion in their roles.

The highly qualified manager is focused on supporting staff development. Staff benefit from highly effective performance strategies and training programmes. These enable staff to consistently provide exceptional care and teaching for all children.

Staff support children's transitions exceptionally well. Children are well prepared for their next stage of learning. Staff have robust strategies in place to support children in their new routines and environments.

Regular visits from teaching staff ensure children develop close relationships prior to starting in school. Changes in children's daily routines are very well considered. Staff make excellent use of group sessions to support children's emotional security and understanding of what happens next.

For example, children and staff create daily timetables. They discuss who will be staying on to play in the after-school club and the activities they can explore.Children have a deep sense of ownership and take pride in maintaining their learning environment.

Staff encourage them to take on roles of responsibility and have respect for their surroundings. For example, children confidently identify risks in the classroom. They help fix broken resources, pick up litter and maintain the allotment area.
