Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff teach children about the local community, wider world and differences and similarities between themselves and others. For instance, they provide displays, resources and books that reflect children's cultural backgrounds. Staff also take children on trips around the local area, such as to parks, shops and libraries.

• The manager and the staff give a high priority to children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They work exceptionally well with parents and other professionals to provide good support to address children's specific needs. • Partnerships with parents are good.

Staff regularly provide parents with verbal an...d written information about their children's progress and ways to support learning at home. Parents are invited to a wide range of events to meet with staff, such as a workshop to enable parents and children to learn about the importance of oral hygiene. • Staff have a good understanding how young children learn and develop.

They provide appropriate activities and experiences that promote children's development across all areas of learning. It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager and staff do not make the very best use of their assessment of children's learning to help plan very precisely for their next steps in learning, to identify and close gaps rapidly in their development. • At times, resources are not as easily accessible to children as they could be, particularly during outdoor play.
