Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The ambitious manager is very passionate and committed to her role. She has clear expectations that she shares effectively with the enthusiastic staff. They work well as a team to maintain the good quality of care.

• Staff support children's emotional well-being effectively. Children develop strong bonds with the staff and settle quickly and comfortably in their care. Parents comment that children 'love to come' to the pre-school and that staff are like an 'extended family'.

• Staff provide a well resourced and interesting environment that effectively supports children to learn through play. For example, children explore and freely choose from a g...ood range of resources. This helps them to become curious and enthusiastic learners.

Children progress well during their time at the pre-school. • Children are developing into confident communicators. Staff consistently use simple techniques, such as repeating words, to help children develop their early language skills.

It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always implement a highly effective exchange of information with all parents to fully promote a consistent approach to children's learning. • At times, staff do not give enough consideration to ways in which they can further support children's emerging mathematical skills during everyday activities. • The manager does not consistently monitor the progress between different groups of children to support staff to identify and close any emerging gaps as soon as possible.
