Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children benefit from a calm and caring learning environment. They settle readily and make friends to play with easily.

Children are confident to ask for help when needed. • Staff offer children praise and reassurance as they learn new skills. Children behave well and develop positive attitudes towards learning.

• Staff confidently know how children learn and develop through play. Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. Staff prepare children well for the next stages in their learning and development, including the move on to school.

• Partnerships between staff and parents are strong. For example, staff keep par...ents fully informed about their children's development and well-being. Parents contribute well to the planning of their child's next steps in learning and know how to support them in the nursery and at home.

• Managers consistently evaluate and review the quality of the provision to help ensure children achieve well and staff meet their care and learning needs effectively. It is not yet outstanding because: • Occasionally, staff do not provide enough challenge to fully extend children's communication skills and stretch their thinking to deepen their learning further. • Managers do not check fully the progress made by different groups of children, particularly to identify any less obvious gaps in their learning and use this information to tailor teaching further.
