Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The new leadership and management team is proactive and adopts a reflective approach which is shared by the staff team. The overall good outcomes in teaching are clearly attributed to the effective staff monitoring and coaching systems in place.

• The provider places partnerships with parents central to their work and use a flexible range of strategies to get them involved in their children's education. The staff know families and children well. They share two-way information and offer clear guidance to parents on how they can support their children's learning at home.

• Overall, staff provide a good range of open-ended resources to quickly captu...re children's curiosity and motivate them to learn. They have a particularly clear focus on supporting children's communication and language skills through their interactions. • Staff prioritise building close relationships with children and promoting their emotional well-being.

They use effective strategies to help even the youngest children increase their self-help skills and independence, such as toilet training. • Staff give good regard to promoting children's health. Children learn to enjoy physical activity and gain an understanding of the importance of eating a healthy diet.

• Staff do not always provide a rich range of experiences to help promote children's learning even further in some aspects of their mathematical development. For example, staff do not maximise opportunities for children to engage in exciting and varied activities where they can group objects, categorise and explore quantities. • Staff do not make the very best use of children's assessment information to provide consistently highly challenging and innovative activities that help children make the best possible progress.
