Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The experienced and long-standing management team takes pride in their nursery. They have high aspirations for the quality of the nursery.

The management team regularly creates clear targets to help them to improve further. Since the last inspection, they have developed a programme to help children stay safe when using technology. • Monitoring and assessment of children's development are effective.

Children's progress is closely tracked and any gaps in learning are quickly identified. Appropriate strategies are put into place to provide extra support and to ensure all children make the best possible progress. • Children are happy, settled and beha...ve well.

Staff act as positive role models. They teach children about the golden rules of the nursery, such as showing kindness to others and tidying toys away. • Children make the most of opportunities to play outdoors.

The newly refurbished garden has enhanced learning experiences for children. It allows them to learn about taking risks, develop physical skills and learn about living healthily. • Children develop the key skills they will need for their future learning and school.

For example, older children are confident communicators and are keen to share their experiences. It is not yet outstanding because: • Occasionally, staff do adapt adult-led activities well enough to encourage older children to use their problem-solving skills . • At times, parents are not as engaged in their children's learning as they could be.
