Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff are motivated and receive regular supervision meetings to help them reflect on their own practice. They attend training and implement what they have learnt into practice to improve the outcomes for children. • Staff help children to learn about the wider world.

For example, they share stories that celebrate children and families that are different from themselves. • Parents are actively involved in their children's learning. For example, staff provide resources, such as books, to extend children's learning at home.

• Staff provide children with a colourful and well-organised environment. Children enjoy helping themselves to the wide range of... resources available. • Children learn about making healthy food choices.

For example, during mealtimes staff talk to children about foods that are good for them. It is not yet outstanding because: • The systems for monitoring the progress made by groups of children are still being developed. • Occasionally, staff miss opportunities to enhance younger children's independence.
