Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children are happy and content in the pre-school. They form strong attachments to staff and this helps them to settle.

Children quickly learn the routines of the pre-school and grow in confidence and self-assurance. They demonstrate by their good behaviour that they feel safe and secure. • Staff are nurturing and caring.

They are attentive to every child's needs and provide additional focused support to children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, and those who speak English as an additional language. This ongoing support ensures that every child makes good progress in their learning. • Partnerships with parents are strong.

Parents say they are delighted with the service provided and the care given to their children. Staff regularly inform parents about their children's development and progress, and support parents to continue their children's learning at home. • Staff build on children's communication and language skills well.

They engage them in discussion and conversation. They ask questions that encourage children to think and listen closely to their responses. • Managers and staff encourage continuous feedback from parents.

Suggestions made by parents are implemented where possible and staff respond quickly to their requests. It is not yet outstanding because: • Arrangements for staff to reflect on their practice are not secure enough to identify clearly how individual staff members can raise the quality of their teaching to the highest level. • Systems for analysing the progress made by different groups of children are not fully embedded to help identify any gaps in teaching and learning.
