Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Qualified and experienced staff establish strong relationships with children.

They know children well and plan a wide range of activities based on their interests and what they need to learn next. For example, children enjoy regular baking activities. They learn to use mathematical vocabulary in practical contexts and develop their physical skills as they use a range of equipment.

Children thrive in the outdoor area. They spend long periods of time exploring the natural world around them and are challenged to develop their problem-solving skills as they play. Children respond well to support from staff to work cooperatively as they pretend to build... a train.

Staff encourage children to listen to one another's ideas and work together to lift boxes and crates. Leaders have good systems in place to evaluate the quality of the provision and identify precise areas for improvement. They actively seek the views of parents and use all feedback to inform their evaluations.

They create detailed action plans and work closely with staff to ensure improvements impact positively on the progress that children make. It is not yet outstanding because: Occasionally, adult-led activities are not organised well enough to support children, particularly those who are older, to be highly engaged and make rapid progress. Newly introduced professional development opportunities are not fully embedded to support staff to improve the overall quality of their practice to the highest standards.
