Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Management has reviewed and made positive changes to the systems for assessing individual children, which has successfully enhanced partnerships with parents.

Staff routinely share detailed information with them about their children's achievements, to keep them well informed and enable them to support their children's learning at home. Staff are enthusiastic and encouraging, and effectively build children's confidence to manage tasks independently. For example, children pour their own drinks, prepare their food for snack and try to dress themselves.

This helps to prepare them well for school. Children are particularly inquisitive about the world ar...ound them. Toddlers are fascinated as they splash water and explore its movement, such as copying staff when they blow it to create ripples.

Older children excitedly look for worms and gleefully hold them to find out how they feel and move. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not consistently plan activities as effectively as they could to extend the older children's learning further and target children's language development more purposefully. Although management and staff track children's individual progress well, they do not monitor the achievements of different groups of children, to identify and close any patterns in the gaps in children's learning.
