A Perfect Start

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Since their last inspection, the manager checks the quality of the provision to help ensure that children achieve well and staff provide good-quality teaching and learning.

• All staff have high expectations for all children. The key-person system is effective. All staff know their key children well and regularly observe them.

They use this information to plan for children's next steps in learning and development. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make good progress from the start. • Children are happy and look forward to the time they spend at the nursery.

They feel safe and form secure bonds with... the caring and positive staff. They have the confidence to go to the staff for support and attention when they need. • Staff have close working relationships with parents.

Staff share information about children's progress with parents to support and encourage them to continue their children's learning at home. It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasion, staff miss opportunities to challenge and extend children's thinking and problem-solving skills. • Staff do not consistently recognise opportunities to introduce and reinforce mathematical concepts and vocabulary in children's play and activities.
