Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Children enjoy regular access to well-resourced outdoor areas, as well as use of the park and woodland next to the setting. Staff plan exciting outdoor activities that challenge children, and the good use of these areas helps to promote children's physical development and understanding of the natural world.

• The manager has developed a personalised training programme for each member of staff in order to further improve their knowledge and practice. • Parents are complimentary about the nursery. Staff invite parents to meetings to discuss their children's good progress and they also have daily discussions.

All children make good progress from the...ir starting points. • Staff build strong and trusting relationships with children. Children enter the nursery happily and enjoy their time there.

They are confident to ask for help and to share their ideas. • The nursery cook provides well-balanced and nutritious meals, often using produce grown by the children on the nearby allotment area. Children enjoy these meals and they support their understanding of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.

• Although the manager and staff evaluate the provision well overall, they do not consistently consider the views of parents. • There are systems for communicating with parents about their child's next steps. However, these do not provide the information they need to enable them to fully support and extend children's learning at home.
