Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Staff provide a warm and welcoming nursery where children are happy and feel safe and secure.

Children are confident and behave well. Strong leadership and motivated staff provide children with good-quality play and learning experiences. Staff join in children's play, encouraging them to explore and try new things.

Children are keen to learn and they make good progress. Children, including those who are learning to talk, make good progress in developing their communication and language skills. Children who speak English as an additional language are well supported and catch up quickly.

Staff build good partnerships with parents and other e...arly years professionals. They successfully work together to meet children's individual care and learning needs. Management uses self-evaluation successfully to identify and address areas for further development.

For example, managers gather and evaluate information about different groups of children that attend, to help target teaching and narrow gaps in achievement. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not always provide a wide enough range of sensory materials for younger children to choose from during their play. Staff do not consistently provide stimulating writing activities to encourage older children's interest in writing, especially that of boys.
