Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The provider has exceptionally high expectations of the nursery and a clear vision for excellence.

She has respect and high regard for her manager and the staff team. They work tirelessly together to offer the best possible outcomes for children and families. • The management company provide all staff with a comprehensive programme of professional development.

Staff enhance their knowledge and experience, such as through attending in-house training and conferences with keynote speakers. The recent company conference inspired the manager to develop outdoor play and learning by allocating an outdoor ambassador. Children benefit from the skilled and... motivated staff team.

• The manager uses a very successful monitoring system to identify and target gaps in children's learning. Staff's consistently good teaching across the nursery contributes to the good and often rapid progress that children make. This includes those children for whom the nursery receives funding and children who speak English as an additional language.

• The manager and her team have developed superb partnerships with parents. Staff make sure parents are thoroughly included in their children's learning and development. They keep them up to date with their children's progress via an online journal.

Furthermore, staff provide ideas for parents to continue with their children's learning at home, such as homework books and the home task tree. • Occasionally, staff working with children over three lead children's play and do not consistently provide children with opportunities to play and explore independently. • Sometimes, in the room for children aged over three, the daily group activities do not support all children to be able to engage and participate in activities as well as possible.
