Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager and staff work well together as a close-knit team. They share the same vision for the nursery. They regularly evaluate their practice and identify areas for development.

For example, they have plans to develop the outdoor area to further support children's learning. • Staff understand children's individual needs well. Children have forged close attachments with staff and they are happy and settled in their care.

Staff support children's well-being and help them to recognise and understand different emotions. Children listen carefully to staff and children's behaviour is good. • Children with special educational needs and/or disabiliti...es (SEND) are supported by knowledgeable and experienced staff.

Partnerships with a range of other professionals are in place. This helps to support children's individual needs. Staff have high expectations for all children in their care.

• The nursery operates from a shared building. Staff have to pack all resources away, as the environment is used by different community groups. Staff work extremely hard at creating an interesting and vibrant environment, which helps to engage children in learning.

• Partnerships with parents are in place. Staff regularly share information about children's development and suggest ideas for parents to support children's learning at home. Parents are very complimentary about the care their children receive.

Parents discuss that the staff are a great team who 'really care for children'. • Staff do not always fully support children to develop correct pronunciation or leave enough time for children to formulate a response after they have been asked a question. • The manager assesses the progress of individual children and some groups of children, but is not yet assessing all groups of children to identify patterns and address any gaps in their learning.
