Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager regularly considers how to make improvements to the quality of the provision and gain the views of staff, parents and children. For example, they have recently introduced an electronic system to record children's progress and improve communication with parents. Staff have a secure knowledge of the educational programmes and plan interesting activities that challenge and motivate children to join in.

Staff place a good focus on children's mathematical and literacy development during play activities and daily routines. Overall, children make good progress from their starting points. The key-person approach is effective.

Staff build positi...ve relationships with parents and their children to ensure their emotional well-being and good health. Children behave well. For example, they learn to respect the needs of others and are aware of the behavioural expectations in the playgroup.

Staff act as positive role models and consistently praise children to raise their confidence and self-esteem. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff have not fully explored ways to support children who speak English as an additional language in everyday activities or everyday play. Although staff work well with parents overall, arrangements to enable parents to support their child's learning and development at home are not yet fully developed.
