Parents are fully informed about their children's progress and receive regular
information on how to support learning at home. They comment that staff have
implemented effective risk assessments to keep the children safe during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Parents particularly praise staff for placing importance on
providing exciting activities that support children's confidence and self-esteem.

Staff support children's communication and language extremely well. They learn
basic sign language and share new words with children, connected with planned
activities or their interests. Staff use repetition and give children time to
respond, to support emerging speech for babies and toddlers. They work closely
with parents and outside agencies to ensure that all children, including those
with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are provided with support to
help them make rapid progress in their learning. 

Partnership working with other agencies to support families is highly effective. Staff
care deeply for each child and prioritise their safety and well-being. The manager
and staff have excellent knowledge of how to keep children safe and how to
identify when children may be at risk of harm.
