Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • There is a significant improvement in safeguarding practice across the nursery. This is having a very positive impact on ensuring children are safe, secure and protected. • Communication and language intervention activities with the older children, although at an early stage, are successful.

Children are enjoying participating in the specifically planned small-group activities and are using their speaking and listening skills well. • Parents continue to speak positively about the nursery. They appreciate the care and kindness shown by staff.

Parents say they have a high level of trust in the staff and appreciate the support they offer. • Staff are... sensitive to children's needs. They offer comfort to children who are upset.

Staff are observant and aware of when children need to rest. They make sure they help children to settle for sleep. • Positive improvements with planning to address gaps in children's learning have resulted in some exciting experiences for children.

Staff are putting a great deal of thought into how to enhance children's learning and play. • The manager holds regular supervision meetings with each member of staff. She helps them to address any practice issues and identifies training needs.

This has a positive impact on the overall quality of the provision. It is not yet outstanding because: • The youngest children do not have as many opportunities as the older children to focus on rapidly developing their speaking and listening skills. • Staff do not always organise meal and snack times in a way that supports all children effectively.
