Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Managers and leaders are ambitious for the success of the nursery. They share a clear and focused vision, 'to ensure that children are happy and have the best possible start in life'. Children are well equipped with the skills they require for their move on to school.

Staff's friendly, thoughtful and caring natures are filtered through their effective interventions. This helps to inspire children to form special friendships with their peers. For instance, children readily recognise when their friends are less cheerful and initiate their own strategies, such as singing and playing music, to quickly 'cheer them up'.

Staff value each and every child. ...They entrust children to carry out responsible tasks, such as becoming the daily snack monitor, to help them to flourish into confident and independent individuals. Children are very thoughtful.

They express a sheer desire to help others and often attend to others' needs before attending to their own. Staff provide specialist support to children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Effective tracking, tailored learning plans and influential meetings help to engage all those involved with each child.

This leads to improved outcomes for all children and contributes towards the good progress that they make.
