Keighley Community Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The management team has worked tremendously hard to address fully all actions and recommendations from the last inspection. It works closely with the local authority quality support officer and accurately evaluates the quality of the nursery provision.

The management team and staff are committed to the continual improvement of the nursery. • Staff develop strong and trusting relationships with parents. They keep parents informed and provide a range of advice to help them to encourage their children's learning at home.

Parents speak highly of the support that they and their children receive and state that 'nursery staff help everyone feel valued, w...elcomed and loved'. • Staff place a strong emphasis on supporting children to acquire good communication and language abilities. Staff use a range of effective strategies to help babies and children to develop good listening, attention and speaking skills.

• Staff create a highly inclusive nursery where all children are valued and nurtured as the unique individuals that they are. Children develop a good understanding and appreciation of differences between themselves and other people. • Children's mathematical skills are developing well.

Staff skilfully help children to count, make simple calculations, identify shapes and understand distance. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, children's concentration and exploration during activities are interrupted as staff leave them to carry out other routine tasks. • Systems to enhance staff's professional development and training are not sharply focused on raising the quality of teaching and learning to the highest level.
