Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Children's behaviour is exemplary. They understand and follow rules exceptionally well and have the utmost respect for others and the environment. • Staff and children have formed warm and nurturing relationships.

Staff provide a caring atmosphere where all children receive individual attention and form close attachments. Children are exceptionally happy and secure. • Leaders and staff have a reflective system in place to identify areas to improve.

For example, they have plans to develop additional plots of land to extend children's already excellent outdoor experiences. • Children make typical progress for their age, including those who receive ...funding. Leaders monitor children's progress well, providing tailored experiences to help meet children's outcomes.

• Staff help children to develop strong language skills. They encourage children to express themselves effectively and talk about what they see and hear, for instance when making popcorn and lighting a fire. • Parents receive detailed information about their children's progress, and staff actively encourage them to be involved in children's learning.

For example, children choose from a range of books and share these at home to support their early reading skills effectively. • Occasionally, children do not have consistent opportunities to develop their understanding of time, to help them know which activities they will be doing next and how long they will have to wait. • Leaders support staff well, overall, but the appraisal system does not consistently reflect on how staff teaching benefits children's development to help children progress even further.
