Rainbows Day Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Experienced managers have worked hard since their last inspection to evaluate and improve the quality of the nursery. They have successfully addressed the actions that were raised. For example, staff now make regular and accurate assessments of children's learning and plans for individual children help them to make good progress.

Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff keep parents well informed about children's learning and parents' contributions are valued. Parents' views are also important and they are gathered in a range of ways.

For example, staff provide parents with a question each week, such as asking them if they are happy with the nur...sery menu. Staff spend time getting to know children and have a good understanding of their interests, likes and dislikes. Children have good bonds with staff and they are happy and show that they enjoy their time at the nursery.

The manager trains all staff to consistently promote children's positive behaviour. Training has a positive impact and children's behaviour is good in relation to their age. Food provided for children is healthy and nutritious and children wash their hands prior to eating.

This contributes to developing children's healthy lifestyles. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff working with two-year-old children have not fully considered the organisation of some routines to help to keep children fully engaged throughout. At times, staff working in the pre-school room do make good use of all opportunities to promote children's early writing skills.
