Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager and staff place a strong focus on working with children and their families, and provide good support and guidance to parents.

They quickly identify any children who need additional support and work closely with parents to support their learning, welfare and emotional well-being. The quality of teaching is good and staff make learning enjoyable. Staff place a strong focus on increasing the children's interest in books and stories through using a creative range of visual aids to capture their imagination.

Staff know their assigned key children very well and prioritise supporting their emotional well-being. They provide a relaxed approach,... and children enjoy the routine and increase their independence well. Staff provide good targeted support for those children who need it most.

For example, those children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities are monitored closely to keep them safe and to help them engage during the session. It is not yet outstanding because: The manager does not use highly effective monitoring systems to help her evaluate and raise the quality of teaching and learning experiences to an exceptional level. Staff do not make the very best possible use of the information gained from children's assessments to help plan highly challenging activities, in particular, in some aspects of their early mathematical development.
