She uses feedback from parents, staff and children, to identify and develop areas for improvement. • Children play in a welcoming and engaging environment. Staff have sound expectations of children's learning.

They plan a range of enjoyable and challenging activities, and children are eager to join in. • The manager and staff monitor children's progress effectively. They use the information to ...identify gaps in individual and groups of children's development, and implement plans to support them.

All children make good progress in their learning. • Staff use a variety of effective methods to engage parents and involve them in all aspects of the nursery. For example, staff regularly discuss children's achievements at parents' evenings and encourage parents to share learning ideas from home.
