Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Leaders have high expectations of staff and are ambitious and dedicated to their roles.

They have a clear vision and are passionate about ensuring that children achieve the best outcomes. • The quality of teaching is consistently good. Children make good progress in their learning from their starting points.

Staff use observations of children's development to identify their next steps in learning and they have effective planning systems in place to help ensure children's individual needs are promoted well. • Staff visit children in their own home before they start to attend the nursery, to gather information about what children already know and ca...n do. Regular and precise assessments of children's learning enable staff to plan activities to provide motivation and appropriate challenge.

• Children are learning about the expectations for good behaviour. The staff team works well together, with a consistent approach which helps children to understand the boundaries for behaviour. • Parents enjoy being involved in their child's learning.

The nursery has introduced a secure, electronic assessment system. This enables staff and parents to share detailed information about children's progress and achievements. Parents appreciate the regular, ongoing information, as well as the ideas they receive to help them to continue their child's learning at home.

• Children settle quickly because the staff place a strong emphasis on promoting children's personal, social and emotional development. It is not yet outstanding because: • Children are not fully encouraged to use clear speech when communicating with staff. • Opportunities to gather the views of parents are not fully developed when evaluating the strengths and areas of improvement in the nursery.
