Treetop Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Managers have worked in close partnership with staff to review many areas of work and implement sustainable improvements.

These changes have played a key role in the substantial development of the nursery since the last inspection. • Staff organise indoor space well so that children play in a safe environment and access resources that are appropriate for their age and developmental stages. They also have time to interact in mixed age groups, supporting the development of their social skills.

• Improvements to the assessment and planning processes mean that children now participate in challenging activities and make good progress in their learning.... Managers frequently check this progress and quickly address any weaker areas. • Managers and staff complete training and actively use their new knowledge.

They use additional methods to support children in developing their language and imagination. For example, children create stories and act these out. • Staff have completed training and support children well in learning to manage their behaviour.

Children are considerate of one another and often run to find the sand timer to help organise fair turn taking. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always make the best use of outdoor areas for children who prefer to play outside, to fully promote their enjoyment and development. • Staff do not gain as much information as possible from parents about children's development at home to further enrich the daily planning.
