Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager and staff form effective partnerships with parents, which supports a consistent approach to meeting children's needs. Parents are kept well informed about their child's day and learning and there are frequent opportunities to share information. Children are confident and keen to learn.

They arrive happily and are eager to explore the environment. Children develop positive relationships with each other and staff, and behave well. Staff have a secure knowledge and awareness of children's individual needs, including those who may need additional support.

For example, staff encouraged quieter children to join in at group times and praised t...heir efforts to support their participation. The manager and staff have good links with schools and other professionals. Children's move to school is planned well, such as by sharing developmental records and care information.

Staff support parents to seek additional support from other professionals when needed to enable children to get the extra help they may need. It is not yet outstanding because: The manager does not precisely identify and address all possible gaps in teaching, to help staff raise the quality of their interactions and engagement with children to a higher level. At times, staff do not organise some routines and activities as effectively as possible, such as to develop children's independence further.
