Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Children, including those who have only been attending for a short while, quickly develop positive attachments with their key person. This effectively contributes to their emotional well-being. • Staff have carefully considered the indoor and outdoor environment to make best use of the space available.

A wide range of exciting, high-quality and well-organised resources are easily accessible to children. • Routines are very well established. Children respond very well to the regular and familiar patterns to their day.

This structure that staff have created helps children to behave very well. • The manager uses self-evaluation well. She has identif...ied strengths and weaknesses of the setting and takes positive steps to address them.

Parents contribute to this process through completing questionnaires. • Partnerships with parents are effective. Staff keep parents regularly informed about their children's achievements.

Parents speak highly about the care and learning their children receive. They particularly like the home reading books to continue with their child's learning at home. • Staff work well with other early years settings children also attend.

They share information about children's learning to help promote consistency in their development. • The monitoring of staff practice is not yet sharply focused on raising the quality of teaching to the highest level. • On occasions, staff do not consistently gather information from parents on children's interests and experiences upon entry to contribute to initial assessments.
