Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager, who is also the provider, and staff are keen and enthusiastic. They effectively evaluate practice, children's progress and the provision to provide good-quality childcare.

• Children's behaviour is good. Staff are good role models. For example, they sensitively remind children to use 'kind hands' and 'take turns' with their friends as they play together.

• The manager and staff have built strong professional relationships with the headteacher and teaching staff at the host school to support children's care and learning to a good level. • The manager successfully tracks different groups of children to identify accurately gaps in achiev...ements and to ensure all children make the best possible progress. • Children's good health is promoted well.

For example, children enjoy plenty of fresh air and physical exercise, and they brush their teeth after mealtimes. It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasions, the manager and some staff do not give younger, quieter children the same opportunity as older children to respond to the questions they ask. • On occasions, staff do not promote children's mathematical skill to a higher level, such as counting, shape and measure.
