Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager is committed to the ongoing development of the nursery. She strives to offer high-quality care for children and their families.

Children's behaviour is good. Staff provide consistent guidelines. Children receive plenty of attention, affection and praise.

This supports their emotional well-being and raises their self-esteem successfully. Children enjoy playing with a wide variety of good quality-toys and resources. Teaching is overall good and activities are based on children's interests.

Children make good progress in their learning. Children learn in a bright and stimulating environment. Staff plan interesting and imaginative ...activities to engage children and promote their curiosity.

Staff follow children's interests particularly well, helping to bring learning to life and supporting them to be deeply involved in their learning. It is not yet outstanding because: Children who speak English as an additional language are not always given the very precise support they need from staff to improve their vocabulary and build further on their good progress. On occasions, staff do not make full use of activities to help develop children's understanding of numbers, shapes and measures.
