Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Managers lead a dedicated staff team that works hard to improve outcomes for children.

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, make good progress from their starting points. Children enjoy a broad variety of activities that motivates and interests them. The staff create a stimulating environment, indoors and outdoors, for the children to explore.

Staff establish secure and trusting relationships with children. They get to know their individual personalities well. Children have good levels of well-being and self-esteem.

Partnerships with parents are good. Staff keep parents informed about their children's ...achievements, and provide information and resources to help parents support children's learning at home. The management, committee and staff team work together well to identify further areas to develop so that the pre-school continually improves.

It is not yet outstanding because: Sometimes, staff do not fully engage younger children during group activities. They miss some opportunities to extend younger children's learning. The management team has not yet fully embedded the systems to monitor the progress of different groups of children to help identify any gaps in learning even more precisely.
