Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The dedicated manager works very well with the long-standing, committed staff team. Together they reflect and evaluate on their practice to continually improve.

The team works cooperatively to create a stimulating environment for all children to play, learn and enjoy. • Partnerships with parents are strong. Parents speak very highly of the pre-school, feel supported and appreciate the sense of community that the pre-school provides.

For example, parents book additional sessions so that they can attend coffee mornings. • Staff engage with children and follow their interests and ideas. They observe children at play and skilfully join in and ask que...stions which extend children's learning.

For example, children explore the pre-school room with tape measures, and staff help them to add meaning to their findings and compare the measurements. • Staff set clear expectations of behaviour and children show kindness and respect to one another as they play. Staff are good role models and praise children's achievements, which helps children to feel motivated to learn.

• Children are very independent. They pour their own drinks at snack time and confidently wash their hands before eating. They freely access materials which support learning and development, such as mark-making materials, scissors and glue.

They use these to create imaginative pictures. • Arrangements for sharing information with parents about their child's learning and progress while at pre-school have not yet fully evolved to further support and extend learning at home. • Current systems of assessment do not promptly target gaps for different groups of children consistently to precisely support next steps in children's progress.
