Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The provider, manager and staff have worked hard to improve the quality of the provision. The manager has supported staff well to successfully address the actions set at the last inspection to improve outcomes for children. She continues to reflect well on the quality of the provision to identify areas to develop further.

• Staff know children well and plan effectively to accommodate their individual interests and development needs. They make good use of their observations of children's achievements to plan for the next steps in their learning and help them to progress further. • Staff provide children with an interesting range of activities that support ...their imaginative play well.

Pre-school children experiment with different colours of paint. They mix them together to make new colours and create effects on different materials, such as bubble wrap and foil. They enjoy recreating familiar experiences in role play.

• All children make good progress in their learning based on their starting points. This includes children who speak English as an additional language and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). • Staff work successfully with healthcare professionals involved in supporting children's development to implement targeted plans for children with SEND.

This helps to swiftly close any gaps in children's learning. • Staff help children to develop their sense of responsibility. Children learn what is expected from them, such as looking after resources and helping to tidy up.

They use their initiative and fetch the dustpan and brush to clean up debris from the floor. • Staff working with toddlers do not make the best use of opportunities to challenge children's thinking and reasoning skills fully. • Staff do not routinely seek contributions from all parents about children's achievements and interests at home.
