Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The well-qualified staff provide a good range of activities to promote children's enjoyment and support them to learn and develop. They work effectively with parents to help children settle and become very confident and self-assured.

Parents receive ongoing information about their children's progress so that they can continue their learning at home. • Managers monitor the progress that groups of children make in their learning. This helps them to identify potential gaps and provide targeted support, to help raise outcomes for children.

• All children, including those with special educational needs and those who speak English as an additional lang...uage, make good progress from their individual starting points. • Managers and staff work closely with other professionals involved in children's care. This helps them to support vulnerable families and children, so that they access the support they need to help children thrive.

• Children behave well. Staff provide regular praise as they recognise children's efforts and achievements. This helps to raise children's confidence and self-esteem.

• On occasions, staff do not respond to children's interests and adapt activities to further extend their concentration, to help fully engage them in activities. • Staff do not consistently make the best of opportunities that arise to help teach children about risks. For example, when children run indoors, staff do not reinforce the pre-school rules to help children understand that this is not safe.
