Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Managers monitor the provision well. They use feedback from children, staff and parents to enhance the play environment and to help new children settle well.

• Managers encourage staff to develop skills and knowledge about how children learn. Recent training has supported staff to be more responsive to children's changing needs and interests. They plan effective next steps and adapt activities well.

Children make good progress in their learning. • Key persons build strong relationships with parents and other professionals. They use different systems, including those online, to share information well in ways that support children's development and ...help their move on to school.

Children benefit from consistent experiences and are well prepared for moving on in their learning. • Staff provide an exciting and stimulating environment, with plenty of readily accessible play materials. They encourage children to take turns and share toys.

Children cooperate well in games and play. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always fully support children's chosen play, but sometimes interrupt their focus by directing the activity in which they are engaged. • Staff do not consistently provide clear messages or use strategies in ways that extend children's communication and understanding, to enhance their learning and development.
