Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children settle quickly, and staff offer comfort and reassurance to children who need extra support when separating from their parents. • Parents are complimentary about the pre-school and say how much their children enjoy attending. • Good opportunities are available for children who start at the pre-school with attainment lower than those of other children.

Staff plan focused activities tailored to their specific needs, which helps to close gaps in learning. • Leaders and managers monitor children's development carefully. They support staff routinely with the assessment and planning processes to help all children make good progress overall from when they... first start.

• The quality of teaching is good, overall. Staff make suggestions, demonstrate new skills and talk to children routinely as part of their play. • Leaders and managers support staff effectively to understand and follow safeguarding procedures.

• Leaders and managers work with staff, parents and children to reflect on practice and identify areas for further improvement. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, staff overlook opportunities to challenge children's thinking fully or encourage them to consider how to solve problems. • On occasions, staff limit children's independence and they do things for children that they could try to do for themselves.
