Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff accurately assess children's learning and plan activities based on their interests and needs. The manager closely tracks the progress of individual and groups of children. She uses additional funding effectively to help children make good progress.

• Children form strong bonds with their key persons. Staff supervise children well and are friendly and nurturing. Children's behaviour is good.

Staff are calm and patient when teaching children how to be kind and polite and to share with their friends. • The manager monitors the quality of teaching closely and provides effective support to help staff to extend their teaching skills further. They ...observe staff's practice and give good guidance to improve the quality of their teaching.

• Partnerships with parents are good. Staff promote two-way communication well. Parents value the care and attention their children receive.

• The manager and owner seek the views of children, parents and staff, and use this information to drive ongoing improvements. It is not yet outstanding because: • Activities are not robustly extended to ensure that children develop their own ideas, solve problems for themselves and build on their critical-thinking skills. • Sometimes, support for younger and non-verbal children's speech and language development is not always of a high enough standard to make sure any gaps in this aspect of their development close swiftly.
