Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is outstanding • Managers set extremely high standards for delivering excellence.

Practitioners often exceed their expectations. They take on individual roles, such as acting as the health and well-being coordinator, with enthusiasm. This contributes to delivering outstanding outcomes for children.

• Children's transitions within the nursery are incredibly successful. Children in the toddler room develop the skills to prepare for the transfer with support from their key person. They choose to spend their time between the pre-school and toddler rooms.

They play in the shared garden or join their older peers to share snack and take part in activitie...s. As a result, when children are ready to complete the transition to the older room, they settle very easily. • The management and staff teams work exceptionally well to prepare children and their families with the move on to school.

Meetings are held with parents to share information about the local schools. Practitioners use role play to help reduce any worries children may have about starting school. For example, they help children practise dressing in their new uniform and packing their bags for school.

• Practitioners are highly skilled at capturing children's 'wow' moments and extending them further to heighten their learning. When children write a letter to home, practitioners show them how to address the envelope and take them to the shop to buy the stamps. They excitedly post their letter and eagerly await its arrival.
