Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children of all ages behave well, and are considerate of other children and adults. Staff help children develop an understanding of age-appropriate expectations as they play.

• Staff get to know children well. Children build strong and trusting relationships with their key person. Staff find out what children like and can already do when they start at the nursery.

This help to support children to develop a strong sense of belonging. • Leaders work hard to engage all parents in nursery life. Parents are very complimentary about the support leaders and staff offer and feel a valued part of their children's learning.

• Staff promote healthy ...lifestyles well. For example, the chef thoughtfully plans menus to provide a nutritious, home-cooked range of food and changes these seasonally. • Staff support communication sensitively, model appropriate language and introduce new words to children's vocabulary.

• Leaders carefully plan transitions between rooms and for when children eventually move on to school, to effectively support children's emotional well-being. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always take every opportunity to adapt activities for children of differing abilities or to extend children's learning. • The manager and staff do not always organise routines and activities to be flexible enough to meet the needs of all children.
