• Relationships between staff and children are positive. Children settle well into daily routines and play together in harmony. They develop a good sense of belonging.

This has a particularly positive impact on those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

• Staff keep parents well informed about their children's progress and well-being. Parents are very pleased with the reliable service, and the good care and support their children receive from this attentive staff team. • Sometimes, staff do not challenge children's learning fully, such as by asking useful questions that make them think, solve problems and develop their ideas.
