Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The staff work well as a close-knit team and share the same vision and aspirations for the nursery.

They undertake regular evaluation of the nursery and have identified key areas they wish to improve further in the future. • The quality of teaching is good. Staff are skilful at following a child's lead during play and offering learning opportunities to interest and engage them in learning.

Children make good progress in their learning and development. • Staff have made links with a wide range of other professionals to support children's needs. They attend meetings with other providers to share good practice and deepen their knowledge.

Lin...ks with schools have been forged, which support effective transition. • Parent partnerships are strong. Information is regularly exchanged about children's development and individual needs.

Parents are extremely complimentary about the staff team and regard them as passionate and dedicated to their role. • Children have built very strong attachments with staff and are extremely happy and settled in their care. Staff are excellent role models.

They promote independence, positive behaviour and good manners at all times during the day. It is not yet outstanding because: • The systems of assessment and monitoring that staff use do not yet fully identify gaps in achievement between different groups of children. • Children are not provided with enough opportunities that challenge their thinking skills as they learn about new concepts.
