Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The staff establish strong partnerships with parents.

They regularly share information about their children's learning and development. Parents speak highly of the nursery and the level of care and learning their children receive. The provider and staff closely monitor children's development to ensure they all make good progress from their starting points.

They work well with other professionals and swiftly provide extra support for children where needed. Children behave well. Staff are positive role models and actively encourage children to use good manners and to be kind and considerate.

Children develop a very good understanding of the ...world and enjoy a variety of regular trips. They learn to respect other children's different backgrounds. Children learn about people and different communities, and engage in planned events.

It is not yet outstanding because: Although staff plan next steps for the children, they do not consistently challenge older and most-able children sufficiently to help them make even better progress. Occasionally, staff miss opportunities to support some children, in particular those who are less sure of what to do, to involve them more fully in ongoing and purposeful play. Although there are training plans to support the ongoing professional development of staff, these are not fully embedded to help them extend and build on their practice.
