Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Staff get to know each child very well and value their individuality highly. Their nurturing approach helps to create a positive environment, where children build trusting bonds with staff and each other. All children are very happy, confident and secure and thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery.

• The manager and staff create a highly inclusive setting, where children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported extremely well. They make great use of expertise from local inclusion services and provide individually tailored support for those who need it. All children make good progress from their starting points, regardless... of their circumstances.

• Staff are particularly skilled at using songs to support children's communication, language and understanding of rhythm. Staff play the guitar as they sing and children of all ages excitedly join in with a variety of familiar songs, remembering the words and actions well. Younger children enthusiastically copy and play along with their own instruments.

• Partnerships with parents are strong. The manager and staff keep parents fully up to date with their children's development and next steps in learning. Parents speak very highly of staff and greatly appreciate the support they receive.

• The manager does not precisely monitor the progress different groups of children make in their learning, to identify and close gaps and support rapid progress for all children. • Pre-school staff do not consistently manage changes of routines effectively. At times, children have to wait unnecessarily, leading to distracted behaviour and keeping them from engaging in play and learning fully.
