Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The management team works closely with staff to evaluate their practice and make positive improvements. For example, managers have successfully addressed the actions set at the last inspection and improved their risk assessment skills to support children's safety well.

• Staff are caring and welcome children warmly on arrival. Children respond happily to the frequent praise and encouragement staff give, and develop positive self-esteem. • Children benefit from frequent opportunities to play out in the fresh air, explore different outdoor environments and develop their physical health and mobility.

• Staff provide a wide range of purposeful learni...ng experiences for children that motivate their interests and support them well to make good progress. • Positive partnerships are formed with parents. Staff liaise with parents effectively to get to know their children's specific needs well, settle them in easily and support their care and learning.

• At times, noise levels become high and the organisation of some group activities, such as to support children's awareness of letters and sounds, does not support their full concentration as well as possible. • Staff sometimes miss opportunities to encourage children's thinking skills further. For example, to support them to solve simple practical problems and extend their learning within activities more consistently.
