Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The management team is committed to regularly seeking the views of children, parents and staff. Managers use this information to drive meaningful improvements.

Parents speak highly of the variety of enjoyable activities provided for children and the good progress they are making. • Staff make regular observations and assessments of children's learning. They use this information to plan enjoyable experiences that support children's interests and what they need to learn next.

• Children are provided with healthy and nutritious meals and snacks and supported well to learn about leading healthy lifestyles. Staff effectively promote children's independ...ence, self-care and social skills. • The majority of children make consistently strong progress, given their starting points.

This includes children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language. It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager does not use highly effective, incisive methods to monitor the effectiveness of staff teaching and practice, to help consistently raise the quality to the highest possible level and support children to make the best possible progress. • Staff do not maximise information sharing with all parents to promote consistency in children's learning.
