Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Experienced and dedicated leaders and managers work closely with other professionals to implement advice and guidance, which helps to develop the ongoing improvement of the setting. For example, improvements have been made for the administration of medicines by trained staff only. • Staff provide a wide range of activities and resources, which interest children and help to grow their natural curiosity.

Staff plan for younger children and provide them with experiences that help to develop their understanding of the world around them. For instance, cultural celebrations and festivals are enjoyed. • Children speak highly of the setting.

They feel va...lued and enjoy the range of activities on offer. Children are confident and well behaved and engage well with one another during play and activities both indoors and outside. • Parents appreciate the level of service and care that is offered to children.

The provision provides a valuable hub for the local community, which is well supported by the parents and staff of the primary school in which it is located. The collaborative approach helps to ensure children benefit from a consistent approach. • Although staff have strong partnerships in place when working with parents, they do not make the most of opportunities to gain their views in order to reflect and evaluate on the effectiveness of the provision even further.
