Magna Minors Day Nursery and pre school

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The management team has made good progress since the last inspection.

Better analysis of data, training and professional discussions have supported staff to implement effective planning and assessment arrangements. This enables children to make good progress from their starting points. • Staff support children's emotional development successfully.

They know children well and children form strong bonds with familiar adults. For example, staff reassure young babies and cuddle them close to help them sleep. The staff gather essential information from parents as children start to enable them to meet their care needs efficiently.

• Staff use t...heir risk assessments effectively to ensure they provide children with safe and secure environments, both inside the nursery and when on outings. • The management team effectively evaluate the provision. For example, they regularly evaluate the learning environment and review the organisation of routines to ensure children are not sat inactive for long periods of time.

They invite parents' feedback, listening to their views, to improve the setting even further. It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasion, staff do not organise group times for older children as well as possible to ensure they can listen and be fully engaged in their learning. • Staff do not consistently gather information from parents about children's learning at home to influence their planning even further.
