Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Effective self-evaluation results in changes and improvements to the environment and working practices that are carefully targeted to reflect the evolving needs of the children. • Children are curious, eager learners.

They become engrossed in activities and concentrate for extended lengths of time. • Staff are skilled at supporting children to make good progress, particularly in their language and their physical development. • Staff provide good support for children to develop positive social skills.

Children learn to interact well with others and begin to master tasks such as tidying away toys. • The key-person system is highly effective. Childr...en respond well to all staff but seek comfort and cuddles from their key person when they are tired or hungry.

• Overall, there are good opportunities for children to explore and investigate. However, the supervisors recognise that there is scope to enhance the range of experiences further to provide even greater challenge and learning opportunities. • At times, information sharing with parents focuses more successfully on children's care needs than on their learning.
