Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Since the last inspection the new manager has worked tirelessly to make significant improvements. She has successfully tackled all the weakness previously identified. She now regularly reviews the provision, seeking the views of staff, parents and children to ensure any weaknesses are swiftly identified and acted upon.

This has improved the quality of teaching and outcomes for all children. • Staff are well qualified and use the information gathered through their assessments of children's learning to carefully plan for each child's next steps. This means that children are successfully supported to reach their full developmental potential.

• Paren...ts speak highly of the nursery and feel very involved in their child's learning and development. They say staff communicate with them effectively to ensure they are fully informed about their children's time at the nursery. • Effective support is provided for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities or who speak English as an additional language.

For example, staff have developed visual language booklets to help support children's understanding further. • The manager and staff have develop excellent working relationships with the host school and other community groups located on site. For example, a recent collaborative scheme has pulled together the ideas and craftsmanship of multi-generational working to provide the nursery with newly made wooden blocks for play.

This has provided children with hands-on learning experiences while developing their understanding of how things are made and what tools can be used to help them even further. • Staff do not fully include parents in the initial assessment of their child's development, to further enhance how accurately they plan for children's development from the start. • Staff do not fully build on links with other early years setting children attend, to encourage a more consistent approach to children's learning.
