She has led systematic improvements since the last inspection and has been strongly supported by the well-qualified staff team. • Staff accurately assess children's progress and plan engaging activities to encourage good achievements in all aspects of their learning. The manager and her staff carefully consider the progress of all groups of children to make sure that any gaps in their learning are promptly addressed.

• Staff work well with other professionals, such as educational psychology services, to help children who have special educational needs achie...ve their best. They prepare all children well for the next stage in their education. • Staff provide a broad and exciting curriculum.

They enrich children's experiences through opportunities to participate in swimming, yoga and other healthy activities. Children make regular visits to the local shops and parks and make presentations to parents at Christmas and other festivals. • Staff form a strong partnership with children's parents and carers.

They provide regular information on children's progress and offer opportunities for further involvement in their learning through, for example, taking home the travelling teddy bear. • Procedures to evaluate and promote the achievement of all groups of learners do not consistently ensure that higher attaining children are fully challenged. • Staff do not consistently promote children's emerging awareness of letters and words in the environment.
