Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The knowledgeable and dedicated provider constantly reflects on the service she provides. She works closely with staff, parents and children to improve children's learning opportunities and experiences.

• Parents praise the staff and provider. They say staff carefully nurture their children's emotional well-being and that their children are happy and settled. Staff improve children's outcomes.

• Staff skilfully support children in learning about the natural world. They provide interesting resources and activities. Children delight in being outside as they excitedly rake leaves, pick different fruits and use natural materials in their imaginative p...lay.

• Children benefit from interesting opportunities to learn about the local community and people who help keep them safe and well. • Staff carefully observe and monitor children's progress. They use this information effectively to plan what children need to learn next.

Children make good progress from their different starting points. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not consistently recognise all available opportunities to support children to think about and work out problems for themselves. • Parents do not have as full an opportunity as possible to inform staff about what their children already know and can do when they join the nursery.
