Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The managers strive to provide a high level of service to the children and their families. They regularly monitor and assess their provision and include the staff in this process. • Staff build on children's language skills well.

For instance, they talk to them about the games they play. Babies repeat the words that the staff say to them and staff praise them for their efforts. • Children behave well and interact positively with each other.

They learn to take turns and share kindly. Staff act as positive role models to help children to gain the social skills they need to become effective communicators. • All children make good levels of progress ...from their individual starting points.

This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff accurately assess the progress children make regularly, which helps them to minimise any gaps in children's learning. • Parents have a strong involvement in their children's learning.

Staff encourage them to build on what children have learned at nursery while they are at home. Staff expand children's knowledge by using information parents share with them, such as discussing what they have done over the weekend. • Some of the older children have not yet developed the skills they need to focus without distraction during the independent learning activities they choose to complete.
