Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff know the children well and the key-person system is a strength. Children happily come into the nursery and separate from their parents quickly. Home visits are used to start to build a positive relationship with parents and find out about what the children already know and can do.

• Children develop their speech, language and communication skills through weekly sessions with the early years foundation stage teacher from the adjoining school. Children make good progress from their starting point and are ready for school when the time comes. They transition quickly into the school where the teacher is able to build on this prior learning.

• Th...e environment for learning is well planned and stimulating. It enables children to be active and curious in their play. Younger children learn from the older children, for example, toddlers watch while older children use the slide and then try to copy them.

• Children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities are well supported by their key person and the special educational needs coordinator. Children make progress as a result of a shared learning plan, developed in partnership between staff, parents and professionals from the team around the child. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always adapt activities well enough, so that all children are able to fully participate and understand what is expected of them.
