Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff plan a wide range of engaging activities that gives children new experiences. Children make choices about where they play and how they use resources. • Staff are well supported by the manager and senior staff.

They work together to identify training and future priorities which improve outcomes for children. • The key-worker system is effective. Staff know the children well and have positive, supportive relationships with them.

• Staff support children to develop their understanding and vocabulary around safety, behaviour, and feelings. • Staff support children who have special educational needs (SEN) well. Staff work closely as a team, and w...ith other agencies, to enable children to progress.

• Children are supported to develop their independence. They receive positive praise when they persevere. • Parents talk very positively about the setting.

They feel listened to, and well communicated with regarding their children's learning and experiences. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not consistently ensure that in group situations all children have the opportunity to speak and be listened to. • Staff do not always use their observations and assessments to plan precisely for the older and most able children, so that they are challenged, and able to make rapid progress.
