Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Staff work effectively with other settings and professionals to provide continuity for all children, including those who require additional support. • The well-qualified staff use their observations of children's play to accurately assess the progress they make in their learning and development.

The manager uses a highly effective system of checking assessments of children's learning to identify where individual children may have a potential delay in learning. • Staff promote positive behaviour. They give children lots of praise for their achievements, helping to raise their self-esteem.

Staff take time to explain to children what is expected of ...them. Children behave well. • Self-evaluation is effective and leads to clear action plans for ongoing improvements for each room.

The manager takes account of the views of children, staff and parents to plan further developments for the nursery. • Although partnerships with parents are good overall, staff do not consistently gather precise information about children's ongoing learning at home, in order to better complement their learning in the nursery. • Staff occasionally miss opportunities to extend children's early mathematical skills, such as their knowledge of numbers and their counting ability.
