Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager who is new to her role is ambitious for the nursery's success. She works closely with her staff team, to ensure that all children receive good quality learning experiences.

• Children behave well and build good relationships with staff who support their emotional well-being effectively. Staff work closely with parents of younger children to follow home routines, to help promote consistency in their care. • All children including those in receipt of additional funding make good progress.

Staff in the pre-school room are particularly effective in identifying where there are emerging gaps in children's progress and swiftly put plans in pl...ace to ensure older children catch up quickly. This helps to ensure that outcomes for all children are good. • Parents speak highly of the nursery and the strong relationships that are established between themselves and their children's key person.

This has a positive impact on how staff support parents in extending their children's learning at home, and their overall good progress. It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager is yet to extend her monitoring of children's development to precisely analyse the impact of teaching on the progress made by different groups of children. • At times, staff do not consider opportunities that arise to further support older children's emerging knowledge about letters and sounds they represent, in readiness for their future learning.
