Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children are happy and show a good sense of security. Staff are kind and welcoming.

They effectively support children's well-being and are good role models. • The manager and staff monitor children's progress effectively. They use the information to identify gaps in individual and groups of children's development, and implement plans to support them.

All children make good progress. • Staff know the children well and provide opportunities for them to expand on their interests. They plan a wide range of activities to develop children's knowledge and skills at appropriate levels for their age.

• Staff have strong and effective partnerships ...with other professionals. They work well with outside agencies to provide support for children, when needed. • Staff use a variety of effective methods to engage with parents and involve them in all aspects of the setting.

This includes providing them with ideas about how to support children's learning at home and encouraging them to attend parents' meetings. It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasion, group times for younger children are not organised as effectively as possible, and children sometimes become distracted and lose concentration. • Sometimes, when supporting play, staff ask children questions to extend their learning but do not allow enough time for them to think through their ideas and respond.
