Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Children are very confident and independent in the nursery school. Staff have created strong relationships with children and their families and this helps children to feel safe and extremely secure. • Staff accurately assess children's learning and overall progress to identify any gaps in their learning.

This helps to ensure that individual children are making good progress towards the early learning goals. • The dedicated leaders of the nursery school are committed to offering quality provision. They are proactive in recognising strengths and identifying areas for development.

For example, leaders have plans to develop the already outstanding ar...ea outdoors to provide more space and opportunities for children to learn about growth. • A highly robust key-person system is implemented. The key person and play leader visit children in their homes before they start at the nursery school.

This helps to support children's emotional security exceptionally well from the beginning. • Staff help to keep children safe when in the nursery school. For example, they complete daily checks of the premises and resources.

Staff adhere to policies and procedures, to help protect children from harm. • Staff do not take every opportunity to build links with other settings that children also attend to aid consistency in children's progress. • Although staff share regular information with parents about their children's general care needs, they have not explored all methods to help support parents to extend their children's learning at home.
