Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The experienced manager and her qualified team strive hard to provide a high-quality service for children and families.

They have a clear vision and constantly implement positive changes. Parents' views are gathered and used in the process. • Staff know the children very well and plan effectively to meet their individual learning needs, overall.

The nursery is well resourced with stimulating equipment indoors and outdoors. Children play with interest, and teaching in the toddler room is strong. • Children have made strong attachments with staff.

There is an effective key-person system. Children are well supported by staff as they settle i...nto the nursery, move through the rooms as they get older and then transition on to school. • The manager and her team work closely with parents, the college staff and management and other professionals to help ensure all children receive the best support possible to make good progress.

• Staff work well with parents and other professionals to support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and children who speak English as an additional language. It is not yet outstanding because: • Play, routines and activities are not robustly extended to ensure that older children are offered consistently high levels of challenge. • Support for older children's growing understanding of the need for safety and managing some risks to help them negotiate and solve problems for themselves is not as highly promoted by all staff.
