Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Management and staff regularly reflect on their practice and accurately identify areas for development.

They have a strong drive to improve the nursery and encourage positive outcomes for children. Since their last inspection, they have made significant changes to improve the quality of teaching and strengthen partnerships with parents. Staff plan a wide range of activities which challenge and excite children.

There is a good range of resources and the learning environment is bright and inviting. Staff know the children well and have good knowledge of their next steps in learning. All children make good progress.

There are effective partne...rships with parents, external agencies and other early years settings. Good communication and sharing of information positively contribute to meeting children's needs. Children are confident, happy and demonstrate good levels of self-esteem.

They quickly develop strong attachments with staff and show that they feel safe and emotionally secure. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not always organise large group activities in a way that encourages quieter or less confident children to contribute their ideas. Management and staff do not always make the most of the whole environment for children to become familiar with words and numbers and to learn about the world.
