"Staff have a secure understanding of the children's individual needs and preferences and meet these well in practice. This is effectively supported by information both written and verbal, which is sourced from parents."
"The partnership with parents and carers is good. The notice boards display policies and procedures, examples of children's art work, and items of interest such as menus and activity plans. Staff are friendly and approachable and they strive to build positive relationships with parents.....Parents are encouraged to support their child's learning by carrying out activities at home and by bringing in items from home to support topic work."
"The children are cared for in positive and supportive environment. Robust policies, procedures and documentation are in place. These work well in practice to promote positive outcomes for children who are cared for by qualified and experienced staff."
