Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The management team is ambitious and has high expectations of staff. The dedicated manager monitors staff's performance well to identify any training or support needs.

The manager and staff reflect on practice continuously. They make changes that benefit children's care and learning needs, such as the revised home corner in the Butterfly room. All children are happy and secure.

Staff are kind and caring. They form strong bonds with children, know them well and support their emotional well-being effectively. Children are motivated to learn and enjoy the wide range of activities and experiences on offer.

They manage their personal care needs... well. Children's behaviour is exemplary and staff are consistently positive in their approach. The special educational needs coordinator liaises with staff and other professionals effectively.

Children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, and those who have speech delays, are supported particularly well, to promote their outcomes. It is not yet outstanding because: At times, staff miss chances to promote children's understanding of shape, weight and capacity as part of their early mathematical development. Although staff build good relationships with parents and keep them well informed about children's progress and next learning steps, they do not engage all parents highly successfully to share ongoing information about children's achievements at home.
