Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The management team and staff have worked hard to address the action raised at the previous inspection. Staff have a secure understanding of ensuring their assessments of children's learning and development are precise. As result, all children make at least good progress from their starting points.

• Babies thrive from the warm and positive interaction and care provided by the staff. They effectively receive the support they require to meet their individual needs. • The well-resourced and organised learning environment helps children to make independent choices in their play.

Children are engaged in their chosen play and activities. • Children's ...imagination skills are developing well. Toddlers pretend to make cakes for the staff.

They use tools confidently to mix compost. Pre-school children play cooperatively during role-play activities. They agree to who will wear the police uniforms and what role they will play in the game.

• Sometimes staff in the pre-school room, and in particular when children are playing outside, do not always interact with them to extend and focus their learning and emerging language skills even further. • Staff do not always consistently find out from parents about how their children are learning at home. At times, this does not promote a truly shared approach to children's learning and development.
