Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager, who was new to the daycare at the time of the last inspection, has overseen positive improvements to the quality of teaching and learning. She sets high expectations and is supported well by the enthusiastic staff. • The staff promote the development of children's communication skills well.

They support all children, including those who speak English as an additional language, to speak with increasing confidence and purpose. • Staff engage children's interest through, for example, skilful questioning and thoughtful explanations. They further capture their imagination through singing songs and telling stories about the activities the children a...re doing.

• Staff provide a warm, friendly and caring environment. They work closely with parents to help children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to settle in quickly and to ensure a happy start to their educational experiences. • Staff encourage children to behave well and to begin to appreciate the needs of others.

For example, they help them to take turns and share their toys and other resources. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not make full use of their analysis of the progress made by different groups of children to further boost their achievement. • Staff do not consistently promote problem-solving skills particularly for children who prefer to play outdoors.
