Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager has worked hard to address previous recommendations, such as developing effective partnerships with parents.

Staff encourage parents to share information about what their children do at home to help promote continuity in their learning. For example, staff complete home visits and provide a home communication book. • Children make good progress in their learning.

Staff know children well and have a secure understanding of how they like to learn. Planning is effective and takes account of children's individual interests and next steps in learning. • All children demonstrate good independence.

For example, they pour their drinks... and wash up their plate and cup after mealtime. Children are well prepared for their eventual move on to school. • Staff provide activities that help children to explore and investigate, supporting them to become motivated learners.

For example, children enjoy playing with scented dough and use tools with skill as they make biscuits and cakes for each other. • Staff do not make the most of opportunities for children to gain an early understanding about diversity and the wider world. • Although staff promote healthy eating and good hygiene, they do not effectively use opportunities to teach children the importance of practices that contribute towards good health.
