Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The committee and the manager have successfully addressed the action and recommendations raised at the last inspection. For example, they have reported all the necessary information needed to determine the suitability of all committee members.

Children are keen to learn and engage enthusiastically in activities. For example, children eagerly identify different countries on the globe and consider if the weather is hot or cold. Parents unreservedly praise the provision.

They highly compliment the friendly and welcoming staff. They like the individual care and attention their children receive. Managers effectively evaluate the provision.

They... have improved their procedures to assess the effectiveness of key staff and the work of external agencies. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not always provide the precise guidance children need during activities to enable them to make even better progress in their scientific understanding. Staff do not always encourage children enough during adult-led activities to show what they already know and can do for them to make the best possible progress.
