Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Leaders and staff are passionate about the continual development of the nursery.

They have a clear vision for the future and are motivated to achieve the best possible outcomes for all children. • Staff have warm, positive relationships with children. They get to know them well by gathering meaningful information about their preferences, needs and interests upon entry.

Children progress well, respond well to staff and enjoy the time spent in their company. • Staff promote children's communication and language skills well. They listen to children, model new words and explain their meaning.

This helps to promote children's good speaking sk...ills, and encourages them to be confident and competent communicators. • Staff facilitate children's independence and curiosity very well. They have created an interesting and well-organised learning environment, indoors and outdoors.

Children eagerly enter the nursery and begin to engage in their self-chosen play. • Staff do not consistently use children's next steps to plan as precisely as possible to challenge and extend their learning fully, to help them make more rapid progress. • Although the manager has systems in place to coach and mentor her team, the supervision process does not support staff to achieve at the highest level in their performance.
