Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children demonstrate they are happy and feel safe at nursery through their confidence and willingness to have a go. For example, toddlers wash their hands without help, and older children independently serve their food and open food packets at lunchtime.

• The manager and staff have a good awareness of where children are in their learning. They use this information well to plan a broad range of enjoyable indoor and outdoor activities that motivates children to take part. Children make good progress in their learning and development.

• The manager accurately evaluates the provision. She uses feedback from parents to reflect on procedures and make c...hanges that benefit the children. For instance, at parents' request, the manager has reviewed how they share information about children's learning.

Subsequently, staff have enhanced their partnerships with parents to promote children's development at home and the nursery effectively. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, staff working with the younger children do not engage them in their play or interact with them during mealtimes as well as they could, to extend their developing interests, concentration and communication skills. • Staff do not consistently make best use of opportunities to support the older children to think about and share their ideas and solve problems, to extend their learning further.
