Ofsted commented that,

‘Leaders are inspirational and exceptionally knowledgeable about early childhood
education and effective teaching and learning.’
 
‘Staff provide an inspirational focus on building children’s knowledge and
understanding of the wider world, other cultures and religions. Children regularly
explore how other people live, such as by looking at photos of different types of
homes around the world. In their play and conversation, children are guided to
understand and celebrate differences and similarities.’

‘Children are happy, confident and eager to learn in this rich learning environment.
Leaders, who possess advanced skills and knowledge, have developed a highly
ambitious curriculum that guides children of all ages and backgrounds to achieve
exceptional progress in their learning and development. Children with special
educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported by the team and make
excellent progress from their individual starting points. Children feel safe and
secure.’
 
‘Staff guide children to develop advanced social and problem-solving skills for their
age. When pre-school children find that there are not enough tools to play a game
together, they discuss whether to use a sand timer to help them share or simply
wait for others to finish. The children solve the issue by finding extra tools, so
everyone who wants to play can join in.’

‘Older children enjoy trips to the local
library and duck pond, which help them to develop their knowledge of the local
community. The photos are then printed to create a book, which children review
independently, building their memory and recall skills. Children use the camera to
take photos of the scenes they set up with little dolls in the dolls’ house. They
move the dolls and take another photo, creating their own stop-motion film.’

‘Children are supported to develop knowledge and pride in their local community
through trips to the local beach, shops and library. During weekly visits to a local
nursing home, children gain knowledge of the area’s history. Older children
confidently explain how they enjoy spending time with the residents.’
