Information about the setting

It operates from four rooms in converted, single storey buildings. It is registered on the Early Years Register and the compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare Register. The nursery is situated in a small business site in the Lickey End area of Bromsgrove.

The nursery is close to main commuter and motorway links. It serves the local area and is accessible to all children. It opens on Monday to Friday from, 8am to 6pm, for 51 weeks a year, with the exception of bank holidays.

There is an enclosed area available for outdoor play. There are eight members of staff, all of whom hold appropriate early year...s qualifications to at least level 2 or 3. Two members of staff are qualified to degree level and the manager has Qualified Teacher Status.

Children attend for a variety of sessions. There are currently 60 children attending, who are within the early years age group. The nursery provides funded early education for two-, three- and four-year-old children.

It supports a number of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and for whom English is an additional language. It receives support from the local authority. What the setting needs to do to improve further To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should: extend the already excellent partnership with parents and carers through finding ways to involve them even further in supporting children's learning at home.
