Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff build and maintain positive partnerships with parents and keep them fully involved. For example, parents are regularly invited to attend the session with their children and make the most of opportunities to share learning and development information with their child's key person. Parents value the good-quality care their children receive.

• The manager and staff work together and accurately evaluate the quality of the provision. They actively include the views of parents and children to help identify areas for further improvement. For instance, following healthy eating workshops, children benefit from nutritious snacks and lunches and gain a growing ...understanding of healthy lifestyles.

• Staff enhance children's communication and language skills effectively. For example, they clearly emphasise key words as they speak. Staff successfully adapt their interactions to help children, particularly those who speak English as an additional language, to develop good understanding and speaking skills.

• All children make good progress in their learning and development from their starting points. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, children do not have the freedom to continue with an activity of their choosing and sustain their learning, as rigid daily routines sometimes interrupt their play. • Staff do not consistently make the most of opportunities to help children practise their early writing skills.
