Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff support children who speak English as an additional language well. They use picture exchange symbols to help all children gain an understanding of the routine and what will happen next. • Management is clear about its roles and works closely with the local authority to identify key strengths and areas for further development to support good outcomes for children.

• Children take part in a varied range of activities that supports their interests, and helps challenge their learning and development. Staff use systems well to track children's progress and help bridge the gap. • Children enjoy their play in a safe and secure environment.

Staff un...dertake robust risk assessments indoors and outdoors to ensure children's safety and privacy. For example, they are closely monitored while using the bathroom, and during their arrival and departure times. • Staff develop good relationships with parents and are committed to support children's individual needs.

Staff involve parents in children's planned events that take place at the setting to enhance their play experiences, such as sports day. It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasions, some daily routines are not well organised and staff do not always support children, particularly at lunchtimes. • Sometimes, parents do not receive information about children's next steps in learning so that they can contribute to their play and interests at home.
