Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager and staff have worked hard to successfully address the actions raised at the last inspection. For example, a rigorous observation and assessment system ensures that children's next steps are swiftly identified.

Well-targeted interventions ensure that all children make good progress. • Self-evaluation is effective. The views of parents, children, staff and outside agencies are used to help the manager identify ways of continuing to improve the quality of teaching and learning.

As a result, teaching at the setting is now good and continues to improve. • A robust system of supervision and performance management ensures that staff trainin...g needs are swiftly identified and addressed. This promotes good outcomes for children.

• The relationship with parents is good. Staff work closely with parents and keep them updated about their children's progress through daily feedback and termly parents' evenings. Parents express confidence in the care their children receive.

• Behaviour is good. Children show good listening skills as they help to tidy the classroom and share the resources. This helps to prepare them for school.

• Although tracking data is used effectively to meet the needs of individual children, tracking of groups of children is not used as effectively as possible to enable gaps between the groups to be identified and targeted. • At times, children in the toddler room can become disengaged, for example during transitions. As a result, behaviour can begin to fall below the standard expected at the setting.
