Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Managers observe groups of children and ensure any gaps in their learning close effectively.

They develop the play environment to support all children, including children who receive funding and those who speak English as an additional language, enabling them to make good progress. • Partnership with parents is strong. Parents comment that information sharing is good and that key persons keep them informed about their children's next steps.

• Staff know children well. They have good relationships with them. Staff regularly observe and assess children so that they are aware of their learning needs.

They capture children's interests effecti...vely and extend their opportunities to experiment. For example, young children gather leaves and compare the different colours, forms, shapes and sizes before they paint them. • Children behave well.

Staff are good role models and support children to learn how to respect and value the differing needs and feelings of their peers and the staff. For example, each child shares their feelings during circle time. Staff extend opportunities to introduce new language as children share their feelings.

• Staff help children to have a good understanding of why it is important to have a healthy diet and physical exercise. For instance, children enjoy regular outdoor play. Young children take turns to name different food during group activities.

They are able to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy food. It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager has not fully embedded professional development strategies to help staff provide the highest level of challenge for children and support them to reach their highest potential. • Staff do not consistently make the best use of opportunities to help children to develop independence in their self-help skills and learning.
