Exceeding in all areas in reception?

My son is just finishing reception, he is my oldest so no experience of this. Now obviously, to me my DS is the brightest and most special boy on G-ds green Earth but with my realistic head on he seems an on-the-bright-side of average 5 year old. He is reading at level 5, has a great vocab but seems atrocious at Maths. Lots of friends etc.

We have been to two parents evening and at both have been given the impression he is a lovely bright boy, but no comments made on him being in anyway outstanding.

Anyway, his report has come in and he is Exceeding in all areas. I was surprised because I would have thought we would have known in some way if he was above average in every area. Like maybe we would have to DO some unspecified something. Is this common? Or could it be our NQT class teacher being a bit over enthusiastic? And do I need to do anything with him now?

Gplan, I think the "imagination" is the best possible ability any child can have imo, since you can't teach them! And I rate "understanding the world" as second, because I think it is one of the most difficult thing for a young child to get it, most of the them are very self centered.
So I think your dc seems to be very emotionally advanced.
