Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff are positive role models. Children build strong bonds with staff.

They are happy, emotionally secure and well prepared with essential skills for starting school. • Older children work well independently and as a team. They take responsibility for tasks and are proficient at jobs, such as clearing the room after lunch.

• The management team evaluates and improves all aspects of the nursery using the views of staff, parents and children. Children's ideas gathered from their committee meeting are included in the planning. • The manager and staff monitor children's progress, individually and by specific groups.

This helps to identify ga...ps in children's learning or where they may benefit from further challenge. • Children engage in different activities to learn about their culture, and other faiths and religions. They make tea for their mums for Mother's Day, breakfast for their dads for Father's Day, and splash paint during the Holi festival of colour.

It is not yet outstanding because: • Some activities and routines for two-year-old children are not carefully planned. At these times, children sit waiting, are not consistently engaged in an activity and become disinterested. • Ways to provide parents with more detailed information on how to support their child's learning and development at home are not fully embedded.
