Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The dedicated manager evaluates the quality of her provision well. She takes account of, and acts on, the views of staff, parents and children to improve the outcomes for children.

She sets challenging and realistic targets for improvement. • Staff are extremely enthusiastic and determined to create an exciting and interesting environment for all children. Staff join in fully with the activities to extend children's learning.

This helps to create a fun and respectful environment throughout. • The quality of teaching and interactions between staff and children are highly positive. Staff have high expectations of children.

They have a secu...re knowledge of children's next steps in learning, which they identify precisely through their high-quality assessment processes. • Recent training in physical development has led to staff redeveloping the outdoor area. The outdoor space is extremely well thought out and children are given countless opportunities to develop their language and imaginative skills.

Children demonstrate high levels of involvement when they are outside. They play together as part of a group, creating new games and sharing ideas. • Staff provide children with interesting ways to develop their critical thinking skills.

For example, when a toy breaks, staff use this as an opportunity to encourage children to consider how they could fix it. Children enjoy testing out ideas and working as a team. • Children are given many opportunities to develop their literacy skills.

They enjoy spending time at the mark-making area and creating cards and pictures to take home. • Staff provide a wide range of well-structured activities for the children. However, at times, staff do not organise the day effectively to support children's learning and emotional well-being, for example at snack time and during the move from indoor to outdoor play.
