Tigers Day Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff provide a very warm and nurturing learning environment where children and babies make caring relationships with them. This supports children's emotional wellbeing effectively.

Children are happy, display good levels of confidence and are keen to explore the stimulating environment. • The enthusiastic manager and staff monitor information about children's achievements well to identify and address any gaps in learning for individuals or groups of children. All children make good progress in their learning.

• The attentive staff are positive role models. They are kind and gentle when speaking and give clear instructions to children. The childre...n's behaviour is very good.

They know what is expected of them and respond well to the staff's continual encouragement. • Staff have strong partnerships with parents. They regularly share information about children's learning and development.

Children benefit from consistent experiences at home and in nursery, such as when they take home 'travelling toys and activities'. • Dedicated leaders support the manager and staff effectively. They continually make improvements to the nursery, and all recommendations from the last inspection are met.

For example, staff have undertaken training to refine their skills to improve outcomes for children in mathematics and creative thinking. It is not yet outstanding because: • Occasionally, staff do not use consistent messages to help children, particularly those aged under three years, to improve their understanding of good health even further. • At times, staff working with mixed abilities of children do not make the best of their questioning techniques, to challenge and extend all children's thinking skills to higher levels.
