Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The nursery provides a nurturing, supportive and child-friendly environment where children are happy, relaxed, and feel safe and secure.

They are developing strong bonds with staff, who are supportive to their individual needs. • Staff observe children as they play and assess their achievements accurately. They use this information, along with their knowledge of children's interests, to devise individual planning linked to a range of opportunities that helps to ensure that all children make good progress.

• Detailed self-evaluation arrangements, including gathering parents' views, mean targeted plans are in place to ensure ongoing improvement. • P...artnership with parents is good. Staff readily engage with parents, who fully appreciate the good-quality care and learning opportunities their children receive.

The management team values parent views and acts on their feedback to help improve the nursery. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do things for children at lunchtimes that they could do for themselves to help extend their good levels of independence even further. • Although senior staff are positive role models, the quality of practice from other staff is not yet outstanding.
