Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Management, with support from the local authority and cooperation from staff, has successfully addressed all actions and recommendations raised at the last inspection. For example, there is a new approach to observations and assessments of children's development. This helps children to make good progress in their learning.

• Staff have established ways to promote positive partnerships with parents. Parents receive daily verbal communication and regular information about their child's learning and development. This helps to ensure children benefit from a consistent approach to their care.

• Children behave well, and a well-embedded key-person syst...em helps them to feel safe and emotionally secure. • Management has introduced a robust system to evaluate and identify areas for development. They value and act upon feedback from parents and children.

This helps to benefit children and results in a service that is continually improving. • Staff successfully monitor children's overall progress. The manager monitors the progress between different groups of children to identify and support any gaps in learning quickly.

• At times, staff do not fully consider the organisation of routines, particularly at lunchtime. Some groups sessions are too long, and children become distracted from their intended learning. • On occasions, staff do not extend their lines of questioning to challenge children's thinking further, or provide children with enough time to respond to the questions they ask.
