Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff regularly observe the children's play, and precisely track and identify activities to support their learning and next steps well.

Children make good progress from their initial starting points. • The staff are skilled at interacting with the children. They form close, secure attachments, which supports children's emotional needs well.

Children develop good mathematical and language skills, and are confident and sociable. • Children behave well. Staff manage children's behaviour positively, and children show respect, good levels of self-esteem and are cooperative.

• The manager encourages staff well to provide an extremely well-resou...rced and stimulating learning environment. Children are engaged, motivated and eager to play and learn with activities that support and challenge them. • The staff develop very effective partnerships with parents to meet children's individual needs and to provide good levels of continuity of care.

Parents spoken to during the inspection spoke highly of the exciting activities available and their children's good levels of development. It is not yet outstanding because: • The organisation of some group activities does not consistently sustain the younger children's interest, to engage them further in learning. • Occasionally, staff do not give children enough time to investigate and to explore resources by themselves.
