Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager is very skilled and knowledgeable and leads her staff well. There is a strong focus on continuous improvement and raising outcomes for children. Reflective practice is a key focus within the staff team who, along with parents and children, contribute to improvement plans.

• All children have excellent opportunities to develop their physical skills. Staff provide a varied range of resources to help children develop their small-and large-muscle skills. Children make good progress.

• Staff consistently praise children's efforts and their positive interactions help children to learn expected levels of behaviour. Children's behaviour is ex...emplary. • Strong partnerships with parents promote a shared approach to children's learning.

Staff involve parents in supporting their children's learning at home and keep them well informed about children's progress and activities. Parents speak extremely highly of the setting and enjoy being actively involved in their children's learning and development. • All children benefit from daily outdoor play in the exciting outdoor areas and forest space.

Staff guide children's risky play particularly well to help them to learn ways to keep themselves safe and to encourage independence. For example, during forest school activities, older children are supported to consider the risks of their chosen route on an obstacle course. • Although the manager gives staff regular feedback on their performance and has improved systems for supporting their development, these are not fully embedded and effective in raising the quality of teaching to an outstanding level.
