Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The provider is proactive in evaluating the setting to identify areas for development and change that benefit the children. For example, the provider has worked closely with the staff team to make changes to how they plan for children, to enable them to target children's individual needs more effectively.

• The provider and staff help children who require additional support and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) particularly successfully. They work closely with outside agencies to promote complementary care and learning experiences. All children make good progress in their learning.

• Staff know the children well and ...assess what they can do accurately. They use this information to identify children's next steps in learning and plan challenging and enjoyable activities, which motivate the children to take part and try new things. • Staff are positive role models of how they expect children to behave and routinely praise children's efforts and achievements to build their self-esteem.

For example, when children work together to carry a large box of toys, staff initiate 'high fives' with enthusiasm to show their thanks and appreciation. • Staff could make better use of opportunities to engage children in detailed discussion and encourage them to think and share their ideas. • Staff do not always initiate information sharing about children's learning as early as possible, to help them and other settings get to know children and identify their starting points sooner.
