Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Leadership is strong. Managers are well qualified and effective in leading the knowledgeable, enthusiastic and dedicated staff team. Robust supervisory meetings help staff to plan for their continued professional development to improve outcomes for children.

• The key-person system is firmly embedded and used effectively to ensure that all children feel safe and secure in their surroundings. • Teaching is good. Staff make regular and accurate assessments of children's achievements.

Children make good progress and are developing the key skills needed to help to prepare them for their move on to school. • Children benefit from a learning environment... that is welcoming, spacious and thoughtfully presented. They are highly motivated and explore freely during their play.

• Partnerships with parents have a positive impact on children's learning and development. Informative and effective settling-in procedures help parents to feel valued, respected and build up a positive relationship from the start. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not consistently respond to the children's differing levels of engagement and encourage all children's full involvement to deepen their thinking skills during some adult-led group activities.
