Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager and staff have worked with their local authority to successfully address the actions and recommendations made at the last inspection.

For instance, staff now ensure that they record children's attendance times accurately. • The manager is committed to providing children with good-quality learning experiences. She uses additional funding, such as the early years pupil premium, to support children's development effectively.

All children make good progress from their starting points. • Children behave well and are kind and courteous in their interactions with each other. Staff help children to understand why the pre-school rules are in p...lace.

This helps children to learn how to value and respect the differing needs of their friends. • Partnerships with parents are good. Staff develop warm, trusting relationships with children and their families to support children's individual care and learning needs well.

Parents value the learning ideas that staff at the pre-school provide them with, to help them support children's learning at home successfully. • Staff have a good understanding of how to adapt activities to meet the differing needs and abilities of older and younger children. They have high expectations of children and provide challenging experiences that help children to develop their good thinking skills and to share their ideas.

This helps children to gain skills that prepare them well for their future learning. • Although the manager monitors the progress made by children, she does not analyse this fully to help identify less obvious gaps in children's progress or compare the progress that groups of children make. • The manager's support for the professional development of staff is not always sharply focused on raising the good quality of teaching to an even higher level.
