Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The management team has detailed plans in place to inform continuous improvement and further improve outcomes for children. It has a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the setting.

• Staff are nurturing and meet children's welfare and emotional needs well. Children form strong relationships and attachments with key persons and all staff. This helps them to settle quickly in the welcoming homely environment.

• The managers initiate good partnerships with other professionals well and make sure that early interventions are in place to help children. They constantly monitor the achievements of children, to help ensure they sustain... good progress. • Staff supervise children closely and provide a safe play environment.

They conduct robust risk assessments to help minimise hazards and to ensure the premises and resources are suitable for children. • Staff promote children's physical skills well. For instance, children enjoy ball games and learn how to coordinate their way across play equipment, such as tyres.

• Staff do not fully ensure that all parents are aware of their child's next steps in learning so they have a precise picture of what their children need to learn next, to help maximise children's learning at the setting and at home. • On occasion, staff do not fully extend or enrich the learning experiences for older children in order to help them to make the best possible progress. • Staff sometimes miss opportunities to support the vocabulary and developing language skills of the younger children.
