Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Leaders and staff are passionate, ambitious and dedicated to providing a high-quality learning and development experience for all children attending the setting.

The provider's self-evaluation is accurate and thorough. They have identified relevant priorities for improvement. • The excellent organisation of resources help the youngest children to manage tasks with superb levels of independence, such as pouring drinks, choosing healthy foods and clearing plates.

This helps to stand them in excellent stead for their eventual move on to school. • Staff place high importance on identifying and planning for children's individual needs, including childr...en who speak English as an additional language and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. All children make good progress from their starting points.

• Staff successfully involve parents in their children's learning and systems to share information are extremely effective. For example, parents routinely inform staff of children's learning at home, which staff use very well in children's assessments and planning for their next steps. • There is an effective two-way exchange of information with health professionals, local schools and other early years providers involved in the children's lives.

This helps children to benefit from strong continuity in their care and education. It is not yet outstanding because: • Occasionally, staff do not fully maximise all opportunities to further enhance children's learning in the outdoor environment. • Systems to enhance the monitoring of staff are not yet developed or targeted well enough to clearly identify how all staff can raise the quality of teaching to the highest level.
