Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager and staff team have worked hard together, from when the nursery first opened. They consistently reflect on their practice and the provision to provide and maintain this good-quality nursery.

The manager regularly meets with staff to discuss their continuous professional development and ongoing suitability. Staff regularly access training to develop their skills and knowledge to an even higher level. Staff precisely assess children's learning.

They effectively plan a wide range of varied and exciting activities that challenges and motivates children to learn. Children are very happy, busy and keen learners. Older children water plants in... the vegetable patch.

Younger children thoroughly enjoy digging in the large sand pit and the youngest children busily transport buckets of water to mix in the sand. Parents are very happy with the care and development of their children. They say their 'children have made good progress'.

Staff encourage parents to support children's learning at home. For example, children choose a book and take it home to share with them. It is not yet outstanding because: Although children have formed secure attachments with their key person, on occasion, the key-person system is not promoted to the highest level, particularly with the youngest children.
