Parents are very complimentary about the quality of the provision. • Children's wishes and opinions lie at the heart of all that staff do. Staff put a lot of thought and consideration into the planning of the environment.

They introduce a wide range of exciting resources that spark children's curiosity and involvement. • Staff quickly identify children... whose achievements are below what is expected for their age. They work very well with parents and other professionals, to give dedicated support to these children.

This helps to make sure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress given their capabilities. • The manager and staff consistently reflect on and evaluate every aspect of the provision. They consider the views of parents and children to help drive continuous improvement.

• Occasionally, staff do not organise whole-group activities well and some children lose enthusiasm and attention. • Staff have not established a regular exchange of information with other settings that children attend. As a result, they are not always able to build effectively on the learning that takes place elsewhere.
