Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Parents provide positive feedback about the setting. For example, they say that staff are caring, sensitive and considerate to individual children's needs.

They provide a stimulating environment and support children to settle well. • Staff plan age-appropriate and interesting activities that children enjoy. They join children's play to offer support, and to help them make good progress with their development.

• Children display positive behaviour. For example, they play with other children and learn to take turns. They show respect to staff, listen and follow instructions well.

• The manager evaluates the setting and has addressed the rec...ommendations from the previous inspection well. For example, staff have increased opportunities for children to develop their communication skills. It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager does not ensure that all required documentation and information is easily accessible and available during the inspection.

• The manager's process for tracking groups of children's progress is in the early stage of development. She does not closely monitor gaps in children's learning and take swift action to support their development. • Staff miss some opportunities during children's play to challenge and extend their learning further.
