Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is outstanding • Leaders, who are also the providers, and staff have built excellent partnerships with parents to support their children's learning at pre-school and home to the highest level.

For example, parents choose from a variety of story sacks to share favourite books, props and puppets with their children at home. Staff regularly share in-depth reports with parents about their children's progress. • The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) and all staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to an exceptionally high level so that they are extremely well prepared for their move to school.

The SENCo regula...rly meets with other professionals to support children's ongoing care and learning. • Children make consistently high rates of progress from when they first start. Gaps between attainment groups of children for whom the nursery receives additional funding and children with SEND are closing rapidly.

Leaders use funding extremely well to help individuals and groups of children achieve exceptionally well and fulfil their potential. • Children enjoy an exceptional range of exciting experiences and activities. They are highly motivated and very eager to join in.

For example, children were fascinated by different textures as they made a bird feeder. They concentrate and listen intently as staff share new ideas with them. • Staff use observations accurately to precisely tailor activities and experiences to meet children's individual needs.
