Banana Moon Day Nursery Ashmore Park

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The management team and practitioners have worked effectively to develop the provision since the last inspection.

They have worked closely with the local authority and have implemented effective action plans. These have been used to address actions and recommendations set at the previous inspection. • Partnerships with parents are an area of strength in the nursery.

Parents speak very highly of the staff and the quality of care their children receive. Staff value parents' input and encourage them to share their own assessments of children's achievements at home through the use of a 'wow' board in each room. • The key-person system works well for c...hildren and parents.

Children settle quickly and are happy and comfortable in the company of the practitioners who care for them. Staff know their key children exceptionally well. This helps them to ensure that children's individual needs are met and their well-being is prioritised.

• Staff create an interesting and nurturing environment where children confidently explore and investigate from a very young age. It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasions, staff do not organise group activities in the most effective ways to support and promote children's engagement and level of concentration. • Staff do not make the most of all interactions with children to extend their learning to the highest levels.
