Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff are skilled in supporting children's creativity and love of interactive stories. Children immerse themselves in deep imagination as they share the experience of going on a bus ride and visiting a restaurant. This helps children develop a natural love for storytelling.

• Staff support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities well. Children make good progress as a result of shared support plans, developed in partnership between staff, parents and professionals. • Staff understand how children learn and develop.

They provide a good variety of resources and interesting activities that inspires the children's natural curios...ity and desire to explore. • Staff work hard to create a welcoming, inviting learning environment for children. They make good use of the outdoor area to offer interesting challenges for children, who can choose to play indoors or outdoors throughout the day.

These include a literacy shed, mathematical areas and a mud kitchen. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, the way sessions are organised does not ensure that children have time to become engrossed in play without interruption. • Occasionally, staff do not give quieter children the time that they need to think and respond to the questions they ask.
