Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Children are happy and confident, and develop strong bonds with the staff and each other. They behave well and learn to share resources and show consideration for each other as they play. For example, they work well together as they build towers with plastic bricks to see how high they can make their skyscraper.

• The manager and staff work well together. They track children's progress accurately and plan a balanced, interesting range of activities to meet children's individual needs and develop their interests. Children make good progress in their learning relative to their starting points.

• There are good partnerships with parents and carers. ...Staff gather detailed information from parents about what their children already know and can do, through discussion and home visits. This enables staff to help children settle quickly into the setting.

Parents are encouraged to support their child's learning further at home. For example, they have opportunities to use the home learning packs to further support children's mathematical development. • The manager and staff evaluate their practice effectively to clearly identify areas for improvement.

They have successfully addressed the recommendations from the last inspection, such as the reorganisation of snack time to help enhance children's learning. • At times due to how staff are deployed, some younger children who request to go into the outdoor learning space with the older children have to wait for their allocated time. • Staff have not successfully shared information with other early years settings children attend, to enable all adults to contribute to children's learning and development effectively.
