Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children develop high levels of independence skills, understanding how to stay safe and enjoy many opportunities to use their physical skills inside. • The well-qualified staff work well together as an effective and enthusiastic team and have a good understanding of how children learn through play. • Children behave well.

Staff are consistent in their approach and give children gentle reminders to help them to learn. For example, they encourage children to be kind and include others in their play. This promotes their emotional well-being.

• The manager monitors groups of children's progress regularly. This means that she quickly identifies where s...ome children may need additional support. Targeted support helps all children make good progress.

• Children enjoy exploring with different resources and textures. For example, babies use edible paint to make marks on paper and toddlers enjoy sensory play, including exploring sand and water. It is not yet outstanding because: • Although children make good progress, not all staff complete children's initial assessments as accurately as possible to help them more precisely identify the progress that children make from their starting points.

• On occasion, some staff miss opportunities to extend on children's early speaking and listening skills. For example, they do not consistently reshape activities to encourage all children to become involved. • The arrangements for mentoring and developing staff are not yet fully effective enough at helping to consistently raise the overall quality of teaching to an outstanding level.
