Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager creates a culture of reflective practice, which contributes to the continuing improvement of the pre-school. Staff keenly develop their qualifications, skills and knowledge to help improve their practice.

For example, they use signing and visual aids to better support children who are learning English as an additional language. • Staff monitor individual children's progress accurately. They quickly identify those at risk of falling behind and secure timely interventions.

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported very well and make good progress. • The well-qualified and dedicated staff create an ...inclusive atmosphere where children and adults feel valued, supported and part of the group, regardless of their background or ability. • Children learn from the kind, positive behaviour of staff and treat those around them with respect.

They behave very well. • The manager and staff have highly effective partnerships with parents, other professionals and other early years settings that children also attend. This helps to provide consistency in children's care and learning.

• Children progress well overall in mathematical development. However, staff do not consistently recognise opportunities to introduce and reinforce mathematical concepts and vocabulary in children's play and activities. • The manager does not make full use of children's assessment data to compare the progress made by different groups of children over time.
