Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The dedicated manager and staff team are passionate about the continual development of the nursery.

The manager and staff have worked extremely hard to successfully address the actions and recommendations made at the last inspection. • The manager has embraced opportunities to work with the local authority adviser to enhance professional development and support staff. This has helped to raise the overall quality of teaching and standards within the nursery.

• Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported very well by qualified staff and external agencies. Staff provide tailored learning programmes that help chil...dren who speak English as an additional language or those with SEND to progress well. • Parents speak very positively about the nursery, in particular the support and advice provided to support further learning at home.

Parents praise the manager for the changes she has introduced, such as the nursery library service. • Children are encouraged to be healthy and lead an active lifestyle. They benefit from a wide range of physical activities such as swimming lessons and sports sessions.

These activities help to provide children with opportunities to practise their physical skills and develop their coordination. • On occasions, staff do not ensure that shy, quietly spoken children are consistently and fully involved and engaged in activities. • Sometimes, staff do not give children sufficient time to think and respond to questions they ask before they move on to the next question.
