Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children throughout the nursery are happy, confident and settled.

New children to the nursery settle quickly and develop close bonds with staff. This is because staff are kind, caring and respond well to the individual needs of children. • Staff provide a welcoming environment and a good range of interesting activities that matches children's interests.

Children make good progress relative to their starting points. • The managers and staff reflect well on the provision. They gather the views of parents and other professionals in order to help identify targets for continuous improvement.

• Good partnerships are in place with local schools.... Staff support children well as they transfer to school. Teachers are invited into the nursery to visit the children.

This helps to promote children's confidence. It is not yet outstanding because: • The organisation of some group activities does not enable all children to remain focused and engaged in their learning. • Staff are not successful at making sure that all parents are fully informed about children's current learning needs in order for them to continue to support their children's learning at home.
