Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The outdoor provision has been vastly improved since the last inspection. The new equipment challenges children's learning. They take risks as they climb confidently over obstacles and up and down the steps The strong management team is very supportive of staff.

It has high expectations and provides a positive working environment that encourages staff to improve practices. This helps to provide better learning opportunities for children. The quality of teaching is good, with some practice being outstanding, particularly in the pre-school room.

Children are engaged and motivated. They are developing skills necessary for future learning, including in... readiness for school. Staff know children well.

They carry out assessments of children's learning effectively. Staff use the information to plan activities that build on existing skills and children's interests. Children's emotional well-being is nurtured.

Staff create a safe environment where children are happy and secure. This helps children to become confident and self-assured. It is not yet outstanding because: Managers, on occasions, do not fully utilise their self-evaluation process to identify improvements and formulate actions that can help raise the quality of the provision even further.
