Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good The provider has high expectations of her staff. She supports their professional development through continual training and coaching opportunities. This supports a positive staff morale which is shown in staff's enthusiastic approach to their work.

The provider has effective planning and monitoring systems in place. Staff are given time to complete assessments. This means staff have a good overview of all children's learning and development.

The provider has established successful partnerships with outside professionals to ensure children who require additional support receive timely intervention. Additional funding is used effectively to meet the i...ndividual needs of the children. For example, children benefit from Forest play sessions and activities provided by outside professionals such as French lessons and football coaching.

It is not yet outstanding because: The provider does not ensure effective communication systems are in place to keep parents informed of staff changes. Staff do not always promote good hygiene practices at lunch time as fruit is placed directly onto tablecloths that have been used for children's main course. In addition, staff do not always manage effectively the transitions from lunch to sleep time, resulting in babies being upset and unsettled.
