Little Kings & Queens Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The owner, manager and staff have worked tirelessly to address the areas identified for improvement at the last inspection. Effective progress has been made. Staff continue to enthusiastically implement a comprehensive programme to build up on what they have already achieved.

As a result, children benefit from a stimulating and safe place in which to grow and learn. • Staff have a wide range of qualifications and experience, and their teaching is rooted in a good knowledge about how children learn. They are adept at supporting children's communication skills and encourage children to persevere with their physical abilities.

Children of all ages d...emonstrate inquisitive attitudes as they investigate their world. • Children enter happily and thoroughly enjoy the time they spend at this welcoming nursery. They develop strong bonds and attachments to their key person and wider staff team, including the cook.

Their sense of belonging is evident in the way they confidently join in activities and interact with adults as they play. • Staff know the children well, including their current skills, abilities and interests. They regularly observe and accurately assess children's learning.

Activities are well planned, including those for group activities, so that each child is suitably challenged. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning. • Managers monitor the individual progress of children and some areas to improve, such as mathematical development.

However, they do not yet review the experiences of groups of children, to identify steps to take in order to build further the already good outcomes for children. • There is a range of books and other resources to represent the cultural and national identity of the children who attend. However, staff have not considered fully the ways to help children reflect on the similarities and differences of people, families and communities beyond their own.
