Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Children thrive in this welcoming, stimulating environment. They build positive relationships with staff and their peers.

Staff spend time getting to know children during a gradual introduction into the nursery and gather key information from parents about their child. They use the information to plan activities that interest and motivate children and encourage them to make good progress. • The multilingual staff team support children who have English as an additional language well.

They gather information about their home language and ensure they understand the correct pronunciation of words. Staff support and encourage children to use their hom...e language alongside English. They continually evaluate the provision to ensure that it consistently meets the needs of the children and families who use it.

• Children behave very well. Staff act as positive role models for children and this helps children learn respect for others and how to share and take turns. They praise children's good behaviour, supporting their confidence and self-esteem.

• Staff work in partnership with parents and ensure that their child's needs are well known and met throughout the day. Daily communication ensures that parents know about their child's day and the activities they have enjoyed. Regular parents' evenings take place where staff tell them about their child's progress and development at nursery.

• Safety within the nursery is good. Security arrangements mean that children cannot leave the nursery unsupervised and unknown visitors are unable to enter unless greeted by a member of staff. Children learn about their own safety.

They learn to use toys and equipment safely, such as the swing and climbing apparatus, and why they wear high-visibility jackets when on trips and outings. • While staff share children's learning and development with parents, systems for encouraging parents to share their child's learning at home are not yet fully established. • At times, staff minimise children's developing independence by completing tasks for them.
