Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children are happy and secure. They confidently move between the indoor and outdoor spaces and independently choose from a wide range of toys and activities. • Children's behaviour is good.

Staff provide effective guidance to help them follow the rules and routines of the setting. They praise children regularly, helping to build their self-esteem and confidence. • Management works effectively to build trusting and long-lasting partnerships with parents.

As a result, they consistently meet children's individual needs. • Staff have a detailed knowledge of their key children and form strong bonds with them. They make accurate assessments of children'...s individual development and plan next steps in learning.

• Older children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and develop key skills needed for school. It is not yet outstanding because: • The management has not fully established the tracking of different groups of children to help identify and address all possible gaps in children's learning and development. • At times, staff do not notice that some settled younger or newer children do not fully engage in activities to provide more challenge to support learning.
