Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Leaders evaluate the provision well and have taken appropriate steps to address the areas for development. For example, since the last inspection, staff have improved the planning and increased the range of opportunities available outside for children to learn.

In addition, leaders have arranged for staff to benefit from training and supervision meeting to help enhance their knowledge and skills. • Staff ensure activities are fun and exciting for children, and encourage them to make decisions and lead their own play well. Staff support children to make good progress, in comparison to their starting points.

• Staff work together effectively to imp...lement the daily routines and ensure children know what will happen next, to enable children to have a smooth transition between activities and routine tasks. • Children display positive behaviour. For example, they listen and show respect to staff, show an awareness of other children during their play, and learn to share resources effectively.

• Staff miss some opportunities to extend older children's mathematical skills. For example, they do not consistently make use of opportunities to teach them about sizes, shapes and measurement. • Staff do not make full use of opportunities available to encourage younger children to be vocal, in order to help foster their early speaking skills.
