Feedback from staff and parents is used well to drive changes. • Staff observe, track and monitor children's learning and development frequently. They assess children's progress and plan individually for children's next steps in learning.

• Children's behaviour is good, and staff have consistent routines and expectations in place. They help children to develop confidence and self-awareness through, for instance, timely words of praise and support. • Staff p...rovide good experiences to help children learn about their local community and the natural world.

Staff provide ample opportunities for children to be outdoors in the fresh air to motivate them to learn. • The key-person system is effective. Children are relaxed, happy and thoroughly enjoy themselves.

They demonstrate that they feel safe and secure and develop good bonds with staff. • Staff work well with other professionals. They establish an effective two-way flow of information that provides children with consistency in their care and learning.

This contributes to the good progress children make and helps to prepare older children for the move to school. • The manager's procedures to monitor and evaluate the progress of different groups of children are not fully developed and embedded in practice. • On occasion, strategies to fully involve parents in children's learning are not highly successful.
