Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The management team systematically and accurately evaluates the quality of the nursery.

They gather the views of staff, parents and children and use action plans effectively to improve outcomes for children. Staff support children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities very well. They develop excellent partnerships with a wide range of professionals.

Staff have created an extremely inclusive environment where diversity is respected and celebrated. The manager uses additional funding effectively to support and enrich children's learning. Children's mathematical skills and understanding are developing well.

Staff encour...age children to count, recognise numbers, make simple calculations, understand numerical order, including first, second and third, and match identical picture cards to make a pair. Staff develop very strong and supportive partnerships with parents. They keep parents fully informed about their children's learning through daily discussions and assessment meetings.

Parents speak extremely highly of the nursery and state how they are, 'so impressed and couldn't have chosen a better nursery for their children'. It is not yet outstanding because: Whole-group activities for children aged three to five years are not consistently adapted well enough to match the different ability levels of the children precisely. The management team does not focus staff's professional development and training opportunities consistently on raising the quality of teaching to the highest level.
