Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Leaders and managers monitor children's development carefully to identify any possible gaps in their learning. They use this information effectively and work closely with the staff team to plan relevant activities that help children make good progress in preparation for school.

• Leaders and managers organise the staff team well to ensure that routines run smoothly and meet children's welfare needs successfully. • Staff support children's freely chosen play effectively, overall, as they help children make connections in their learning and build on previous knowledge. • Children engage well in their activities and are keen to explore.

Staff are goo...d role models and encourage children to behave positively. • Staff develop good partnerships with parents, who state that their children are happy, enjoy attending and are progressing well. • Leaders, managers and staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding procedures to help keep children safe.

• Leaders and managers evaluate practice effectively, taking account of the views of others, to identify areas for further development to improve outcomes for children. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, staff do not take full account of children's capabilities when supporting their knowledge of sounds and letters to extend their learning effectively. • Staff sometimes miss opportunities to strengthen and reinforce mathematics accurately to support children's understanding fully.
