Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager has effectively addressed the weaknesses identified at the last inspection. For example, she completes the necessary suitability checks on all staff and volunteers who work with children.

The manager has successfully supported staff to improve the quality of their teaching and assessments. Staff now make accurate assessments and use these well to plan a wide range of interesting and suitably challenging learning experiences. Children make good progress from their starting points.

Children show good levels of independence. For example, they make purposeful choices about what to do and manage a wide range of self-help tasks that is approp...riate for their age. The staff make good use of the interesting and stimulating environment, indoors and outdoors, to promote children's learning.

It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not always consider fully how to use children's different backgrounds and cultures to help all children learn about diversity. Staff do not consistently capture and maintain children's interest at times when children come together for stories and songs. At these times, some children become distracted and do not focus well.
