All children have regular access to the full range of activities. The brief Special Educational Needs Policy makes no reference to the Department of Education's Code of Practice 1994 on the Identification of Children with Special Educational Needs. Not all staff are familiar with the Code of Practice. Resources are good and used effectively to promote children's learning. The accommodation is spacious and staff make very good use of all areas.
Regular use is made of the outdoor area.
The nursery has established strong links with parents and carers and these effectively contribute to the children's learning. Parents are kept well- informed of their child's progress verbally and more formally at parent's sessions when they are encouraged to contribute to assessments. Parents are kept well-informed about aspects of the nursery through regular newsletters, information on notice boards and daily verbal contact with staff. An informative prospectus is given to parents when their child starts at the nursery, which includes information about the educational curriculum. The nursery has made good progress overall in implementing the action plan that was drawn up in response to the previous inspection.
