Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff know the children well.

They closely monitor what children know and can do, and effectively plan for what children need to learn next. This contributes to the good progress that children make. • Staff create a happy environment where children and families feel welcome.

Staff work well together as a team. This helps children to feel confident and emotionally secure. • The dedicated provider, management team and staff continuously evaluate and reflect on their practice to develop the nursery further.

They value and act upon feedback from parents and children. This helps benefit children and results in a service that is continually imp...roving. • Staff are good at supporting children's emotional well-being.

For example, they reassure children who are a little unsettled and give consistent praise to children to help them celebrate their own achievements. It is not yet outstanding because: • The monitoring and supervision procedures for staff do not focus as effectively as they could on raising the quality of their practice even further. • Staff do not work as successfully as possible with other settings that children currently attend, to increase the support more for children's learning.
