Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The strong management team is led by the ambitious dedicated manager/provider. Practitioners regularly attend training to gain new ideas and explore different ways of working. Teaching is consistently good.

Practitioners provide a stimulating environment. They provide a good range of challenging and exciting resources and activities indoors and outdoors. Practitioners fully understand all of their legal responsibilities.

They effectively oversee the running of the nursery. This ensures the safety and welfare of children. Practitioners act as positive role models.

Children copy this behaviour, learn to respect each other and are encouraged ...to explore their own feelings. Parent partnerships are effective. Practitioners help ensure parents are able to contribute fully to their children's learning and celebrate their achievements.

Parents speak very highly of the provision, especially the team of practitioners. Practitioners form close bonds with children. They speak with kind tones and listen to children carefully.

Children are praised for their contributions so they feel valued. It is not yet outstanding because: Assessments and monitoring are not fully precise to check that individual children achieve their potential as rapidly as possible in every aspect of their learning. Managers do not consistently support the development of practitioners' already good practice, to raise the quality of teaching to the highest level.
