Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children are happy, confident and well behaved. They settle quickly into the daily routines and activities.

All staff have a calm, caring and gentle manner with all the children. When younger children become upset, their key person responds sensitively to calm them. Parents hold the staff in high regard and are very happy with the service provided for them.

• Children enjoy the learning opportunities that the staff provide. Play areas are well resourced and organised to entice children to explore. • The manager has a good overview of the progress that children make.

She uses this information effectively to understand the strengths and the... next steps for the nursery that will support children's learning. • Staff provide a safe and hygienic environment. For example, they ensure that outdoor shoes are removed in areas used by babies and that sleeping children are continually monitored.

• Staff work effectively with parents, other professionals and external agencies to meet all children's learning and welfare needs. It is not yet outstanding because: • Sometimes, staff do not use their assessments of children effectively to precisely plan for individual children to make the best possible progress. • Managers and staff do not make the most of opportunities to gather the views of parents to help inform self-evaluation.
