Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff provide children with a wide range of exciting and interesting resources. This helps to motivate and challenge children to learn and explore.

Staff take time to show and explain to children how to do things. For example, staff show children how to work the magnetic boards or use the walkie-talkies. • Parents are very positive about the nursery.

They state that they feel well informed about their children's progress and are given information on how to support their children's ongoing learning at home. They believe their children's individual needs are very well met by staff who are flexible and understanding. • Staff successfully support chil...dren to engage with the local community.

Children visit the local retirement home to take part in activities with the residents, such as singing and enjoying afternoon tea together. • Children settle quickly and thoroughly enjoy themselves as they establish strong bonds with all staff at the nursery. Staff effectively help children to manage their own emotions.

On arrival, children identify how they are feeling when they self-register. It is not yet outstanding because: • The systems for monitoring and evaluating information about the progress of different groups of children who attend are not yet fully embedded. • At times, staff can be over directive to children when giving instructions during planned activities.
