Little Peepul Day Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager has acted decisively to review policies and procedures throughout the nursery and made significant improvements since the previous inspection.

For example, she has introduced rigorous systems to identify staff's training and support needs to raise the quality of their teaching to a consistently good level. • The manager is committed to working in partnership with other professionals. She is extremely open to exploring new ideas and innovative practice.

She becomes involved in exciting local authority and community projects which greatly help to extend the learning opportunities available to children. • Staff enthusiastically use their ...learning from training and development programmes to help all children make good progress in their learning and development. For example, they understand and use their knowledge and understanding of how they can improve children's physical skills during play and daily routines.

• Staff provide strong support to develop children's language and communication skills. They skilfully use words in children's home languages and signs and symbols to help all children understand routines and instructions, and to develop their speaking skills. • Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery.

They eagerly explore the wide range of stimulating resources across all areas of learning. It is not yet outstanding because: • Although parents contribute information about what their children know and can do at home when they first start, staff have not fully considered how they can continue to gather information and include this in their assessments of children's learning. • At times, staff do not recognise how they can provide older children with more challenging activities to further extend their understanding of the links between letters and the sounds that they represent.
