Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The owner and manager are committed to developing a highly qualified staff team. Peer observations and staff supervision meetings are effectively implemented to further promote the good quality of teaching and learning. • Partnerships with parents are strong.

Staff work closely with them to share information about their children's care and ongoing learning. Parents and staff work together from the outset to identify children's starting points, and parents are encouraged to share their child's achievements at home. • Monitoring and assessment are effective.

Children's progress is closely tracked and any gaps in learning are quickly identified. Appr...opriate strategies are put into place to provide extra support and to ensure all children make the best possible progress. • Children are enthusiastic learners and demonstrate a strong sense of self-esteem.

They form warm and caring relationships with the friendly and attentive staff. • Children are happy, settled and behave well. Staff act as positive role models.

They teach children to take turns, show kindness to others and use good manners. It is not yet outstanding because: • Occasionally, staff ask children too many questions and do not allow them enough time to formulate their response. • Staff do not always adapt adult-led activities well enough to maintain children's interest and engagement.
