Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The dedicated manager and staff strive to provide the best quality play and learning environment possible for children. They have an accurate view of the quality of the provision and identify areas for further development successfully. Children are happy, confident and well behaved in this welcoming and caring nursery.

They form close bonds with the committed staff, who work diligently to meet all children's needs. Staff provide children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities with excellent support. They work effectively with other professionals, using their advice and expertise to provide children with individualised learning plans and acti...vities.

The quality of teaching is good. Staff are experienced and well qualified. They demonstrate a good understanding of how children learn and plan activities to build on their next steps in learning.

As a result, children make good progress. It is not yet outstanding because: Strategies to exchange information about children's learning and development with providers who share responsibility for educating these children are not fully effective. Staff do not gather precise initial information from parents about what their children already know and can do, to help identify accurate starting points in their learning.
