Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Strong links are established with local schools. Staff provide teachers with important information and share with them details of children's progress and agree shared targets for development. This helps to promote continuity of children care and learning well.

Staff have a good understanding of how children learn overall. They make effective use of individual children's observations and assessments. Staff take account of children's interests and next steps in learning and use these to inform the planning of activities.

Staff are attentive and children form close, trusting relationships with them. Babies receive lots of cuddles helping them to feel ...happy and settled. Partnerships with parents are very strong.

Staff warmly welcome all parents on arrival and share any necessary information. Parents state they are particularly impressed with the progress their children make and the information they receive. Children behave well and play cooperatively.

Staff are good role models and provide clear and consistent explanations and gentle reminders of expectations. It is not yet outstanding because: At times, some activities for younger children are not organised in the most effective way to fully involve children and build on their learning. The manager does not routinely use contributions from staff and parents to better inform the self-evaluation process.
