Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Since the previous inspection, the provider has changed the management team.

The new manager has worked very closely with staff, parents and outside agencies to reflect on the quality of provision and implement improvements. She has a clear vision for future development. • The manager and staff are clear about their roles and responsibilities in meeting children's needs and keeping them safe.

• The management team monitors staff performance through regular supervision meetings. This helps to identify training programmes in direct response to staff's and children's needs. As a result, the quality of teaching continually improves.

• Staff ...know children very well. They plan interesting experiences based on children's individual interests and learning needs. As a result, all children make good progress from their starting points.

• Children benefit from freshly prepared and healthy meals, which have been recently reviewed and improved to meet all children's needs. • Occasionally, during larger group activities, staff do not ensure that all children have enough interaction, particularly those who are quieter in a group. • At times, staff do not routinely explain to children why they should not behave in certain ways, or help them understand the consequences of their actions and how their behaviours could impact on others.
