• Children's assessment information is precise and accurate. The manager and her staff team use this data very well to drive forward improvements and plan targeted interventions, helping to evaluate practice well and narrow any possible gaps in children's learning. It is not yet outstanding because: • Some experiences provided for babies and very young children are not stimulating enough to fully engage them and promote their learning even further.
