Cambridge Day Nursery Ltd

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager makes good use of support and feedback from the local authority early years coordinator to continually improve the nursery. She has effectively addressed the recommendations from the previous inspection. For example, she has now increased the range of activities in the garden for children to enjoy and learn.

• Staff develop close partnerships with parents. From the start, they encourage parents involvement to enable a smooth settling-in process for new children. Staff provide parents with ongoing feedback about their children's care and learning.

• Staff observe and assess children's learning well. They provide interesting learning exp...eriences for children, and effectively interact with them during their play to help them make good progress with their development. • Children behave well.

For example, toddlers make space to allow other children to join their play and older children share and take turns to use resources effectively. It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasion, staff miss opportunities to support children to identify and manage their own self-care needs. • Staff do not consistently ensure that older children have access to a range of opportunities to extend their literacy skills even further.
