Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children play in a highly stimulating and interesting learning environment. Staff provide a wide range of learning opportunities that excite the natural curiosity of young minds.

Children explore and investigate the sights, sounds and textures of the outdoor world and enjoy a wide range of messy play opportunities. • Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff keep parents and carers regularly updated with their children's achievements.

They regularly share information about children's next steps to further support their learning and to meet children's individual needs successfully. • Children develop a close bond and secure relationship with thei...r key person. They come into the pre-school happily and readily separate from their parents and carers.

Children's individual needs and parents' wishes are followed closely by the experienced, dedicated and committed staff team. • The manager and staff effectively evaluate the quality of care and education they provide. They seek the opinions of children, parents and carers to help identify further areas of development.

They set clear targets and make changes that benefit the outcomes for children. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, staff miss opportunities for children to learn more about mathematical concepts to extend their mathematical development even further. • Staff do not always make the most of the good links established with other settings children also attend, to improve the consistency of learning and further support their progress.
