Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager and staff are ambitious, hard-working and committed to improving outcomes for children.

They have successfully addressed weaknesses from the last inspection, and developed many other aspects of their practice. • Leaders support staff and trainees extremely well. Since the last inspection, together they have successfully revised risk assessments, developed teaching practice to help children keep themselves safe, and introduced effective changes to the way staff assess children's learning and development.

• Partnerships with parents are well developed and strong. Parents praise the staff for their care and dedication. They comment on ho...w pleased they are with the range of activities provided, the progress their children make, and how well staff share information with them.

This promotes continuity of care and learning at home. • Staff have positive, caring relationships with children. They get to know children well by gathering a wealth of information about their individual needs and interests upon entry.

Staff work effectively with others, such as health visitors and specialist teachers, to provide continuity for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). • Leaders do not effectively monitor different groups of children's progress to identify any gaps in their learning, or use the information to plan for their next steps in learning, to help them make even better progress. • Staff do not routinely challenge children during activities to help them make the best possible progress in their learning.
