Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The managers organise the deployment of staff efficiently so that children are well supervised at all times. Staff carry out robust risk assessments to identify and remove the risk of potential hazards to children.

• Staff make good use of the space within the environment to support children's learning experiences. For example, they provide children with daily opportunities to use both indoors and outdoors to learn skills and enjoy their play. • Staff promote children's physical development and skills effectively.

There is a strong focus on physical activities and children have daily opportunities to enjoy different sports, such as swimming, golf,... obstacle races and skipping. • The key-person system is effective. Staff's good interactions help new children to settle quickly, develop their self-confidence and feel emotionally secure.

• Staff use consistent behaviour management techniques that help children understand what is expected of them throughout the day and what it means to respect and treat each other kindly. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not consistently obtain information from parents when children start, to get to know children's existing skills so that they can build on what children can already do from the outset. • At times, staff miss opportunities during activities and routine times to develop further children's understanding of healthy eating.
