Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Staff provide a safe, well-organised, homely environment for the children. Parents comment on the way the staff promote a strong sense of family.

• Children confidently develop their independence skills through trying things for themselves. For example, the kitchen is part of their learning environment and they help with the day-to-day activities such as setting the table for lunch and chopping the fruit for snack. • Managers develop and nurture strong partnerships with parents.

Staff work closely with parents and keep them informed about their children's continuing progress. • Staff have a good understanding of the children's needs. They talk co...nfidently about where children are in their learning and development.

• Children who are bilingual benefit from opportunities to hear and use their home language in their play. • Children learn about other cultures as well as their own through regular visits into the community. This helps children to develop their understanding of the wider world.

• Staff use different tones of voice and facial expressions skilfully to interact with babies. • On occasion, staff dominate the children's learning experiences and they do not always give children time to express themselves. • Staff settle children well into the nursery, but children's starting points are not always established.
