Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Partnerships with parents are strong. Parents receive regular comprehensive communication about their children's progress. They are encouraged to be fully involved in their children's learning as they receive information about the current topic and the letter and sound of the week.

• Children's behaviour is good. Staff provide children with positive role models and they give regular praise and encouragement, sharing the achievements children make with their families. • The pre-school has a good relationship with the local school.

Children visit for story time and have the opportunity to attend a school lunch once a term. This effectively supports ...children's move to school. • The manager and staff are friendly and approachable.

They are well qualified, dedicated and enthusiastic. This has a positive impact on the quality of the provision. Children arrive happy and keen to start their day.

It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not use their assessments of children's individual learning to clearly identify next steps, to enhance planning and children's progress even further. • Supervision and monitoring of staff practice are not sharply focused enough. This does not fully identify individual priorities for ongoing professional development to raise staff's teaching and practice to an even higher level.
