Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager has made an accurate self-evaluation of the pre-school. She has successfully identified the areas for improvement and has taken effective action to address the weaknesses identified at the last inspection.

• Staff are skilled practitioners. They understand how children learn and provide interesting and engaging activities to support their learning and development. This helps children make good progress in their learning.

• Children arrive happily into pre-school. They are able to make decisions about where they want to play and quickly become absorbed in activities. • Staff support children's communication skills well.

They u...se verbal and non-verbal communication methods to ensure that children understand what is being asked of them. This helps children who speak English as an additional language develop their English vocabulary quickly. • Staff work effectively with other agencies to obtain early support to meet children's needs.

This means that children who may not be making as much progress in their learning as they could, swiftly catch up. • Parents report that they are happy with the care provided for their children. They feel that their children enjoy the time they spend at the pre-school and the positive relationships they develop with staff.

However, not all parents are supported to engage with their children's learning and understand how they can share this learning at home. • At times, some staff do not recognise that children need additional time to consider their response before answering. This means that sometimes staff provide children with solutions instead of allowing them enough opportunity to think for themselves.
