Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The managers support the professional development of practitioners well, observing their teaching and developing their practice through giving them verbal feedback. This upskills practitioners and enhances the teaching that is delivered to children.

• The managers reflect on practice and the overall experience children receive at the setting. They gain the views from children, parents and practitioners. This leads to the setting continually developing, ensuring children receive good-quality care and education.

• Practitioners form good bonds with children, which makes them feel safe and secure. This contributes to the positive behaviour children ...display. • Children develop good foundations for learning.

For example, they are encouraged to be physically healthy, build on their social interactions and develop their confidence and self-esteem. • Parents speak highly of the support their children receive. They feel that practitioners support children well through their development milestones, such as toilet training and preparation for school.

• Key persons do not thoroughly assess what children know and can do when they first start at the setting. At times, this hinders how practitioners monitor children's progress from the very beginning. • Although practitioners monitor progress, they do not do this closely enough to precisely understand the progress that all children are making between their ages and stages of development.
