Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The experienced and highly qualified managers are passionate about their roles in continually raising the quality of the nursery. They are enthusiastic and dedicated practitioners who demonstrate a strong commitment to providing early years experiences of the highest quality.

• Staff have a range of opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills further through professional development. For example, staff have undertaken behaviour management training and use their knowledge to manage children's behaviour effectively. They empower children to speak out when some behaviours towards them are unwelcome.

• Staff provide a wide variety of activiti...es based on their knowledge of children's interests. They skilfully support children to develop their communication, social and physical skills as they play. • Staff use their accurate observations and assessments to carefully monitor the progress that children make.

They swiftly identify any emerging gaps in children's learning and development. Staff make effective use of their close partnerships with a range of outside agencies to help to ensure that all children receive the support they need to make good progress. • Parents speak highly of the setting.

Staff share information with parents to help them understand how children's learning can be further supported at home. • Recently introduced systems for planning are not yet fully embedded to be able to be used precisely to support children in making more rapid progress. • The organisation of daily routines means that, on occasion, older children are required to sit and wait for prolonged periods of time and sometimes lose their concentration.
