Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff are caring and have a gentle approach towards the children.

Children build close attachments with their key person. They are confident, happy and have good levels of self-esteem. • Children make good progress in their learning.

Staff complete detailed observations and assessments to help them plan an interesting range of activities based around children's interests and next steps in learning. • The environment is warm, welcoming and exciting for children, inside and outside. Children develop their independence skills well as they explore, investigate and make their own choices of what they would like to play with next.

• There are g...ood partnerships with parents, carers and other professionals, such as other early years settings that children attend. Regular information is shared between them to help parents support children's learning further at home and ensure consistency between other settings. • The manager has well-established systems to monitor groups' and individual children's progress closely.

She is able to clearly identify and quickly close any gaps children's in learning. It is not yet outstanding because: • Although staff support children's emerging language development well overall, sometimes they use familiar versions of words, rather than teaching children the correct words. • Staff do not consistently make it clear to the children how much time they have left before activities change, to enable them to complete what they are doing to their satisfaction.
