Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager and her team have successfully met the recommendation from the previous inspection. For example, children access a wide variety of resources and planned activities outdoors that support and continue their learning. Resources are plentiful and support children's learning.

Good relationships develop between staff and children. Staff spend time getting to know children and gather information from parents about their children. They use this information effectively to plan for children's care and learning from the start.

Staff plan a wide variety of activities that challenges and interests children. They make good use of the play space avail...able to support children's learning. Staff effectively support children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities to ensure they have opportunities to make the best possible progress in relation to their starting points.

Staff successfully work in partnership with other early years professionals to ensure continuity in care and learning. Staff support children as they learn the importance of sharing and turn taking through play. They recognise and praise children's achievements.

Clear rules and boundaries encourage children's understanding of acceptable behaviour. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not always use resources effectively to support children's skills in literacy. Routines for gathering information about children's home language to use in nursery to engage children and aid communication are not wholly successful.
