Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good All staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They give children clear and consistent guidelines and are good role models.

They effectively support children's emotional and social development. The manager has a strong commitment to improving practice across all areas of the nursery. She regularly evaluates practice, and listens to the views of parents, staff and other professionals, to develop clear and achievable improvement plans.

Staff have very good relationships with outside agencies and professionals. Children with specific needs or families who face challenging circumstances are very well supported. Children of all abilities mak...e good progress from their starting points.

They learn through well-planned activities that build on what they can do and what they are interested in. They are well prepared for their future learning. Parents respect the advice staff give, and value the information that they share with them about their children's learning and development.

It is not yet outstanding because: Nursery routines sometimes take priority over what children are choosing to do and how they are engaging in their play. Occasionally this stops children from becoming more deeply involved in their own learning. Sometimes, opportunities for staff to gain information about what children are learning at home are limited.
