Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff provide a very interesting environment. Children enjoy exploring and learning.

Young children thoroughly enjoy free-flow activities, indoors and outdoors, and know how to keep themselves safe. • Leaders and managers have high expectations for the provision. They work together well to identify further areas to develop so that the nursery continually improves.

Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities benefit from support. • The environment is welcoming, safe and secure. Staff know children and their families well.

The key-person system is effective and children are given good emotional support to settle and buil...d positive relationships with their peers. • Parents speak highly of the care their children receive. They say that their children flourish in the learning environment.

• Teaching is consistently good. Staff observe and interact with children as they play. For example, children study a grasshopper they have found and carefully place it in the mini-beasts area outside.

This supports continuity in children's learning and contributes towards their good progress. It is not yet outstanding because: • Although staff develop good partnerships with parents, they do not consistently share next steps and involve them in supporting their children's learning at home. • Staff do not consistently make best use of opportunities for children to develop independence in their self-help skills and learning.
