Summary of key findings for parents
This provision is good
The nursery is managed well with priorities for improvement clearly identified.
Managers continually listen to and reflect upon the opinions of others as part of this
process.
All groups of children make good progress towards the early learning goals. Staff speak
with parents and decide together how best they can support children's learning and
development.
Staff manage children's behaviour in a calm and positive way. They praise the
behaviour that they want and this helps children to understand what is expected of
them. Children are also motivated by staff who encourage them to 'have a go' and keep
on trying.
The teaching of key skills is highly effective. For example, in mathematics older children
learn to count, recognise, order and write numbers during short, focused group
activities led by their key person.
Children are well supported to keep themselves safe and healthy. Balanced, nutritious
foods are provided and children enjoy regular fresh air and exercise.
It is not yet outstanding because:
Sometimes, staff caring for the younger children intervene too soon during play and
learning. This means that children's own ideas are not always fully explored.
Continued professional development opportunities are not yet sufficiently focused on
raising the quality of teaching to the highest level possible.
