Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Staff are well qualified and have a secure understanding of how to observe and assess children's development.

They plan a wide range of purposeful and challenging activities that capture children's interests. Children are motivated learners and make good progress. • The environment is well organised and resourced.

Staff in each room provide an extensive range of toys and equipment that are suitable for the age and stage of development of all children. For example, babies benefit from opportunities to explore different textures, a black and white area and an array of natural materials. This helps them to learn using their senses and strengthens th...eir natural sense of curiosity.

• The key-person system is well established and effective. Staff work extremely hard to help children to develop a strong sense of emotional security, confidence and self-esteem. All children, including those who attend the out-of-school club, make very close relationships with their key person.

Children are very happy and well settled. • Staff work very closely with teachers from schools that some children also attend, which helps them to complement children's learning well. For example, they gather and share information with teachers to help provide good levels of continuity and support for children.

• Self-evaluation is an ongoing process. The manager seeks the views of staff, children, parents and school teachers. This helps her to develop well-targeted action plans that make a positive contribution to the improvement of the quality of the nursery.

• The manager observes staff and carries out supervision meetings to manage their performance. However, these are not yet rigorous enough to enhance the overall good quality of teaching to a higher level. • There are occasions when some staff do not ask questions in the most effective way to help children to think creatively, solve problems and develop their ideas.
