Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Managers implement effective monitoring to identify children who are not developing key skills as well as expected.

They are proactive in seeking early intervention services. They use additional funding effectively to support attainment between different groups of children and gaps soon close. • Managers evaluate staff's practice well.

They support staff to attend a good range of training that helps them to build on their knowledge and skills and improve the learning experiences for children. • The key-person approach works well to build secure relationships between staff, parents and children. Staff support children to develop strong social skill...s, which helps to prepare them for the move to school.

• Staff work closely with parents to implement consistent strategies to promote good behaviour and regular attendance. They provide clear guidance for children about what is and is not acceptable behaviour. • Parents appreciate the service the nursery provides.

They comment that the nursery is welcoming and homely, children are truly happy and activities are perfect for their age. It is not yet outstanding because: • Arrangements for sharing information with parents about children's next steps in learning are not fully effective to help them extend learning at home. • Staff do not always make the most of opportunities to help children make links between their different learning experiences.
