Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The leadership and management of the nursery are strong. The provider supports staff to effectively fulfil their roles. Staff are confident and they promote children's learning and care very well in a child-centred environment.

• The quality of teaching is good and staff make learning very enjoyable for children. Staff work hard to provide high-quality learning experiences in this welcoming and inclusive environment. Children progress really well and they are keen learners that are willing to try new things.

• Children receive nurturing guidance and support that promotes their self-confidence and self-assurance very well. The key-person arrangemen...ts are effective and children demonstrate by their interactions that they feel emotionally secure. • The management team provide swift intervention when children need extra help.

It offers effective one-to-one support and works closely with other professionals, such as speech and language therapists. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not consistently encourage children to manage age appropriate self-care tasks independently. • Staff do not consistently provide the highest levels of challenge for children, such as independently accessing all resources in their outdoor play.
