This helps to support children's self-esteem and helps them to feel safe, secure and ready to learn.nPartnerships with parents are highly effective. They are very well informed about children's care and learning and contribute from the very beginning.

All children are developing the necessary skills re...quired to support them in the next stages of their learning.nChildren are learning how healthy foods affect their bodies. For example, younger children explore the textures of fruit and vegetables during role play and staff use opportunities such as these to talk about the benefits of eating nutritious foods.

nStaff implement appropriate policies and procedures and ensure that children are cared for in safe and secure premises. They complete regular risk assessments, which they review and evaluate to ensure that they can quickly identify risks and hazards.nStaff promote children's literacy skills well.

For example, pre-school children eagerly hunt for bugs in their environment. They demonstrate high level of curiosity and look in books to investigate the insects that they find. nStaff accurately observe and assess children's progress and reflect on their individual learning needs.

However, some staff do not use all opportunities to share this information with other staff that spend time working directly with their key children, to help them maximise children's learning at every opportunity.nThe management team leads staff well in a programme of ongoing improvement. However, it does not monitor staff performance precisely enough to identify where further support is needed, to ensure all staff fully extend children's learning and deliver teaching at the highest levels.
