Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The staff establish strong partnerships with parents, and regularly share information about their children's learning and development. Parents speak highly of the nursery and the level of care and learning their children receive. Staff promote positive behaviour and demonstrate how children can be kind to others.

Children share resources, work together and generally display very good behaviour. Children enjoy playing with a wide variety of good-quality toys and resources. Teaching is good, overall, and activities are based on children's interests.

Children make good progress in their learning. Children learn in a bright and stimulating environment.... Staff plan interesting and imaginative activities to engage children and promote their curiosity.

The managers model good practice. They are always available to staff for support and guidance. Staff morale is good, and they feel both valued and supported.

It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not consistently use all opportunities to help children be independent in tasks they can manage for themselves. There is not an effective system currently in place to enable managers to track the overall development of children in groups or cohorts. This can, on occasion, lead to gaps in children's learning not being promptly identified.
