Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager has a successful system in place to evaluate the effectiveness of provision. She makes ongoing improvements to the nursery to enhance children's experiences and to secure their continued good progress.

• Staff skilfully adapt their teaching to take account of children's abilities. Those who work with the youngest children promote their language skills well. Staff respond to babies' sounds and gestures.

They model vocabulary for toddlers to hear and repeat. • Overall, children are busy and active throughout the day. They enjoy taking part in the good range of opportunities that staff plan for them.

Children develop a positive a...ttitude to learning. They listen carefully and respond well to others. • Staff are good role models for children.

They communicate well with each other and have high expectations for children's behaviour. Staff teach older children to be kind to their friends, to share resources and to negotiate turn taking with others. • Children build secure attachments to staff.

This helps them to be confident and self-assured. Children enjoy sharing stories about their lives outside of the setting. Staff listen and show that they are interested.

This helps children to feel valued. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not consistently work with parents to identify children's precise starting points on entry to encourage more rapid progress in their learning from the start. • Occasionally, staff do not fully challenge children during some activities to take their engagement and concentration to a higher level.
