Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager ensures that staff are deployed appropriately around the nursery to meet children's needs.

Staff supervise children well and children demonstrate that they have good relationships with staff. • Staff know the children well. They talk confidently about where children are in their learning and development and what they need to do to support their continuing progress.

As a result, children make good progress. • The manager and staff are ambitious and reflective. They seek the views of parents and children to help them identify further ways to improve the quality of the provision.

• Children behave well. Staff have clear strategie...s to manage children's behaviour in a positive manner. For example, they talk to older children about the rules and boundaries in the nursery.

Children demonstrate that they are emotionally secure. • Parents comment positively about the nursery. They describe the staff as, 'Warm, caring and kind' and highly value the service the nursery provides.

It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager has not developed effective systems to compare the progress made by all groups of children to reduce any gaps in their learning. • At times, the mealtime routine becomes slightly hectic. Some children become distracted while other children's needs are not as well met as at other times.
