Twinkle Tots Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Leaders have fully addressed weaknesses identified at the last inspection, and swift and robust action has been taken to make the required improvements.

Rigorous processes are used for self-evaluation, which includes the views of parents, staff and children. Action plans have been implemented to drive further improvements. As a result, the nursery is continuously improving.

• The nursery is a welcoming, stimulating and well-resourced environment, both indoors and outdoors. Staff organise a wide range of activities to meet children's learning needs. Children are keen to play and they make good progress in their learning and development.

• ...Staff support children and their families very well. Partnerships with parents are highly effective. Staff share regular information about children's care and learning.

Parents are complimentary about the service provided. • Staff show genuine care for all children and value them as individuals. This has a positive impact on children's emotional well-being.

Children are happy and settled. • Staff promote healthy lifestyles well. Children enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise.

They enjoy a range of nutritious, balanced meals and snacks. • Staff are good role models for children. They teach children to share and take turns.

Children are well mannered and behave very well. It is not yet outstanding because: • Although staff have been supported to raise the overall quality of teaching to a good level, professional development is not sufficiently focused on raising the quality of teaching to a higher level. • Staff do not always use effective strategies when teaching children about letters and the sounds they represent.
