Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The managers and staff have successfully addressed the recommendations set at the last inspection.

For example, they have increased the opportunities for children to understand how to consider risks to keep themselves safe. • Effective partnerships with parents and other early years providers support staff well to meet children's individual needs. They work together consistently, sharing important information about children's development and care.

• Management uses self-evaluation systems well to help identify strengths and areas of improvement. They ensure that improvement plans focus sharply on areas to develop that benefit children's experienc...es. • Outdoor play experiences are very good.

Children benefit from long periods outside in all weathers and enjoy interesting activities that cover all areas of learning. • Although staff closely monitor the progress of individual children, they do not check that different groups of children achieve as well as each other. • On occasion, staff do not make the most of opportunities to extend children's good mathematical understanding.
