Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • All staff undertake regular behaviour management training. They use meaningful praise with all children. This, and high levels of warmth and care from staff, helps children to behave well and to develop strong friendships with one another.

• Staff develop strong partnership working with other providers, including the local nurseries and schools. This ensures a high level of consistency and continuity for all children's care and learning. • Staff receive regular confidential meetings with the manager.

This provides staff with the opportunity to discuss their continued suitability, their training needs, their key children and anything that they are... concerned about. The manager regularly observes the practice of staff. This helps to ensure that teaching continues to have a positive impact on children's care and learning.

• Staff are well supported by the provider to undertake a range of training opportunities. Following training, staff share their learning with others during team meetings. Staff reflect on training and identify how best to improve their teaching and how this impacts on the already good outcomes for children.

• The provider works closely with the manager to ensure that all staff, parents and their children are fully included in the self-evaluation of the nursery. This ensures that the provider is able to identify areas for continuous improvement that will benefit all children. • Opportunities to increase the information provided for parents to help them to better support their children's learning at home, are not maximised to the highest possible level.
