Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager provides strong leadership to the staff team.

She works closely with staff, parents and children to review the provision and make improvements that benefit all children. • Staff are good role models and provide children with positive ways to express their feelings. Children display good manners at all times and show kindness and consideration to their friends.

• Staff have strong relationships with parents. They constantly share detailed information on children's progress and suggest targeted activities for parents to support children's learning at home. • Staff are deployed well and supervise children vigilantly indoors and outdoors....

Children move around the learning environment with great purpose and become fully engrossed in what they are doing. • Staff meet the children's emotional needs well. Children settle quickly as they separate from their parents and are very happy throughout the day.

• Staff complete detailed assessments of children's progress and work hard to encourage parents to share learning from home. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress from their starting points. • The management team follows robust recruitment procedures to ensure the suitability of those they employ to work with children.

New staff receive a thorough induction and have a buddy to help them understand their new roles and responsibilities. • On occasions, staff in the toddler and pre-school rooms do not organise routines and learning experiences as well as they could, to make sure all children have opportunities to engage, take part and benefit fully from the activities on offer. • At times, staff in the baby room do not use all opportunities to fully extend children's learning, in particular to build on children's developing vocabulary even further.
