Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Staff are skilled early years practitioners who have a strong understanding of how young children learn and develop, overall. They provide a wide range of experiences that helps children to make good progress in their learning. Partnerships with parents are strong.

They say how well their children are helped to settle into nursery and how included they feel in their child's learning. Joint strategies help parents and staff to work together to help children manage their behaviour. Staff work extremely well with external professionals, who are also known to children.

This provides a seamless approach to supporting children's individual needs. Links w...ith local schools are good. Opportunities, such as visits, are made.

This supports children's emotional needs well, when they leave nursery and move on to school. Staff feel very well supported by the manager. Regular supervision meetings and observations of their teaching help staff to improve the effectiveness of their role.

It is not yet outstanding because: Some children, particularly those who are at an early stage of holding pencils or crayons, are not consistently provided with activities to extend their early writing skills fully. Arrangements for sharing children's assessment information between staff are not fully effective. Staff supporting children, other than those in their key group, are not always fully aware of what children need to learn next, to promote their achievements to the highest level.
