Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Leaders are ambitious and drive improvement in the nursery.

They have worked on all actions set at the last inspection and encourage staff to further their training. • Staff plan good activities, helping to support good outcomes for children's learning and development. For example, children relish exploring water play.

They learn how to make bubbles. Staff teach children about quantity as they pour different amounts of water into different-sized containers. • Staff develop strong bonds with children.

They follow children's individual routines and use their interests to help them settle quickly and to be ready to learn straight away. • Chi...ldren who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well with their learning and development. Staff attend regular meetings with parents and other professionals, working together to meet children's individual needs.

Staff set realistic targets for children to help with their learning. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff, at times, do not give children enough time to think about their responses to questions being asked. • Leaders do not currently review tracking for different groups of children to rapidly close gaps in all areas of learning for children.
