Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children are very confident and enjoy their time at the nursery.

They develop secure attachments to staff, which provide a strong foundation from which to explore the stimulating learning environment and lead their own play. • Children are keen learners and staff are very responsive to them. They successfully use their interactions to motivate and challenge children's learning.

Staff make suggestions, show children how to use resources and extend their language. • The manager reviews all aspects of the nursery to identify areas for improvement. She uses detailed information about children's progress to plan training for staff and specific interven...tions that have improved children's speech and language skills.

• Staff work very closely with parents and other professionals to successfully meet the needs of children who have special education needs (SEN) and/or disabilities. They share strategies so there is consistent and effective support for children's behaviour and emerging communication skills. • Children become independent and manage their own needs as they get older.

Staff adapt their support for different children during mealtimes, getting ready to go outside and as they learn about daily hygiene routines. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always make the most of what they know about what fascinates children to meticulously plan for their rapid progress. • Sometimes daily routines are not highly effective at meeting the learning needs of older children who have just started at the nursery.
