Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff are caring, kind and show a genuine interest in the children's lives.

They build trusting bonds with the children and their families. Children show that they are happy and settled in the nursery. Parents comment that they are pleased with the activities that are offered, and staff keep them informed about their child's day at the nursery.

• Staff are good role models and use effective strategies to manage children's good behaviour. They provide lots of praise and encouragement and children behave well, take turns, share and play cooperatively together. This helps to create an emotionally secure and positive environment for children to play a...nd learn in.

• Staff know how children learn. They provide a stimulating environment, which children are keen to explore. Resources and activities are arranged well.

Children make independent choices in their play. They make good progress in their learning. • Children's artwork and photographs of their families are prominently displayed.

This helps to develop children's sense of belonging and raises their self-esteem. • The manager and staff team are passionate and committed to providing good experiences for the children in their care. They work closely together and support each other well.

Children receive good quality of care and learning experiences. It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager does not monitor staff performance closely enough to help precisely identify how to raise the quality of practice to the highest level. • The manager's self-evaluation is not yet highly successful at engaging parents and staff to help drive improvements and raise the provision to even higher levels.
