Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The management team is highly committed to improving the quality of the service it provides to children and their families. They consider parents' and children's views, and use this information to further improve the already good quality of teaching and learning.

Staff support children's individual needs particularly well. They accurately assess children's learning and use these details to methodically plan a welcoming, interesting and enriched environment for children to play. Children make good rates of progress from their starting points.

Partnerships with parents have a positive impact on children's learning. Staff keep parents very well inform...ed of their child's development. They work closely with parents to identify children's next stages of learning.

They provide information for parents to continue to support their child's learning at home. Staff work with other agencies very well. They support families to build positive relationships with other professionals involved in their child's learning.

Children receive the individual support they need from an early stage. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not capitalise on all possible opportunities to support children's learning even further during outdoor play. The manager does not fully utilise staff's expert knowledge to develop children's communication skills even further.
