Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Self-evaluation is effective.

Good standards of practice have been achieved since registration. The management team actively involves all staff in achieving the plans for future improvement. This helps to promote concerted achievement over time.

• Staff provide meaningful opportunities for children to learn about how they are similar to or different from others. For example, they encourage children to bring in items from home that represent their own culture and customs to share with other children. • Children's behaviour is good.

Staff give children meaningful praise to help them understand what they have done well. In the baby room, sta...ff teach the younger children simple boundaries. By the time children leave to start school, they understand the future expectations of school, such as putting their hand up to speak when asked.

• All children learn the skills they need for the next stage in learning, including school. For example, babies grasp blocks and bang them together. Toddlers enjoy completing small tasks, such as finding their own name.

Older children create imaginatively with dough. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not consistently adapt their teaching to help the most able and less able children to make the best possible progress during all planned activities. • Occasionally, staff do not organise the daily routines in the baby room as effectively as possible, especially at lunchtime when babies wait for their food, causing some upset to them.
