Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Staff provide an inclusive environment where all children are valued and respected. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well. Staff work closely with parents and other professionals to identify and support children's individual needs.

For example, children who require further support benefit from a higher adult-to-child ratio. This helps to ensure their individual needs are met. • The manager, who is designated to take lead responsibility for safeguarding, has completed a wealth of child protection training relevant to this role.

This has helped to support the development of the detailed safeguarding policies..., which are implemented well by all staff. • Partnerships with parents are good, overall. Staff build positive relationships with parents and support children's home learning well.

For example, staff have recently introduced a soft toy, the 'maths monkey'. Children enjoy taking this activity home to support simple early mathematics tasks. • Staff promote children's early literacy skills well.

Children enjoy taking part in group activities to explore sound and rhyme. For example, children learn to identify rhyming pairs such as 'coat' and 'goat'. • Leaders have recently introduced new systems which are aimed at raising the consistency of the quality of teaching.

This is not yet fully embedded to help raise the quality of teaching to a consistently high level. • Self-evaluation systems are good. However, parents are not consistently encouraged to contribute to the process and to share their views, to help improve the quality of the provision even further.
