Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Leaders and managers implement an excellent key-person approach.

All children have a consistent key person to nurture them. They effectively oversee children's well-being and early education from the time they start until they leave to move on to school. All children progress well from their starting points.

Staff monitor children's individual progress well. They identify and support those that need additional help to catch up. Children's behaviour is good.

Staff help them to understand how their behaviour affects others' feelings. Children are kind to each other, polite and respectful. The manager evaluates the setting well.

She ...identifies training to update her own and staff's knowledge, and makes changes to the nursery provision that benefit children. Staff plan well for children's interests and provide a wide range of activities that engages and motivates children to learn. Children have good imaginations and enjoy dressing up.

They use what they know from their home experiences and build on this in their play. Staff's interactions with children are good. They encourage young children's exploration and help to extend their thinking and ideas.

It is not yet outstanding because: The leadership and management team does not monitor groups of children's progress accurately enough to identify the less obvious gaps in teaching and learning precisely. Staff do not sufficiently challenge the older and most able children to extend their early literacy skills. For example, some children confidently name and know the sounds of letters but staff do not build on this to help them blend the sounds to read words.
