Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Managers strive to ensure high standards are continually maintained.

They seek feedback from parents and use meetings with other managers to help them evaluate and enhance practice. • Children form close bonds with all staff. Several staff members have worked in the setting for many years.

Their experience and commitment make a positive difference to children's care and learning, as well as providing reassurance to parents. • The quality of teaching is good throughout the setting and particularly strong in the pre-school room. Staff provide stimulating and challenging activities that help children to achieve well and make good progress over time....

• The environment is extremely well equipped with an excellent range of high-quality and easily accessible resources that help to promote all areas of children's development. • Partnerships with parents are a key strength and staff ensure parents are kept fully informed. Parents report that staff 'go the extra mile' to support them and their children.

They say, 'I can go to work knowing my child is in the best possible hands'. • Managers do not precisely evaluate how additional funding, such as the early years pupil premium, is used to help to improve children's outcomes. • Overall, performance management is effective, but processes do not focus sharply enough on ways to help staff to raise their teaching skills to outstanding levels.
