This provision is good • The newly appointed manager is ambitious and enthusiastic. She has high expectations and has swiftly reviewed the quality of the nursery to help support children's outcomes.

• Staff use a wide range of teaching strategies well, overall. Children engage in a wide variety of interesting, stimulating activities that help them to make good progress in their learning. • Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported extremely well.

Strong partnerships between staff, parents and external agencies help to ensure children's individual needs are given utmost priority. • The well-qualified staff team receives good support ...from the manager and senior staff. Regular supervision meetings and training are used well to improve staff's ongoing skills and knowledge.

• Partnerships with local schools are good. Children engage in exciting activities when they visit with staff, helping them to become familiar with the school environment. • Children's behaviour is good.

Staff work well with parents to share strategies and develop a joined-up approach to help children understand age-appropriate rules and boundaries. • There are some minor weaknesses in teaching for the younger children that are not identified quickly enough and addressed to raise the quality of practice even further. • Staff do not consistently help children to develop a deep enough understanding of hygiene practices that support their good health.
