Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The driven and ambitious manager has high expectations of staff and children. She aims to provide high-quality care and education for children. • The manager monitors the progress made by individual and groups of children well.

Staff identify and address early gaps in learning quickly. They work closely with other professionals so that they can provide extra support where children need it. This includes for those children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities.

All children make good progress. • Children who move on to school are supported very well. For example, older children dress up in school uniforms and visit their new ...school.

Staff invite teachers to come and meet children in the nursery. The manager attends meetings with teachers to share information with them to help ensure continuity of children's care and learning. • The manager and staff create a homely and welcoming environment.

They are warm and caring, and help children to settle in quickly. Children form close bonds with staff and their peers. They show that they are happy and enjoy the time they spend in the nursery.

• Partnerships with parents are good. The manager and staff provide various opportunities for parents to be involved in children's care and learning. For example, they invite parents to attend children's progress meetings.

Parents share 'wow moments' to inform staff of children's achievements at home. It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager does not make the very best use of the systems in place for coaching staff to help to raise the good quality of teaching to the highest level. • There are occasions when staff do not utilise opportunities to extend and challenge children's learning and development further.
