Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The leadership of the playgroup is strong. The committee and manager are dedicated to the continual development of the setting and have a clear vision for the future.

All staff work closely together to provide children with high-quality care and learning opportunities. • Children enjoy fresh air and exercise as they play in the superb outdoor area. The playgroup garden is full of exciting and interesting spaces, where children can freely explore.

It has been imaginatively developed to include all areas of learning, to support children who learn best outside. • The manager acts as a very good role model and mentor to the rest of the staff team. Sh...e carries out regular supervision and monitors staff performance, which leads to consistency of the very good practice at the playgroup.

• Staff support children's communication and language skills well. They ask questions to encourage children's listening, attention and speaking skills. Sign language and picture cards are used to communicate with children who require extra support.

• Equality and inclusion is at the heart of the playgroup. Staff work exceptionally well together to ensure that they meet children's individual care and learning needs. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported and make very good progress at the playgroup.

• The playgroup is well established within the community. Some staff, including the manager, have worked there for several years. This helps to provide stability for parents and children.

Parents say they are extremely happy with the playgroup provision. • Children's move on to school is significantly enhanced by the very close links staff have with the host primary school. • Staff do not make the most of their good relationships with parents to support them to complement and extend their children's learning at home.
