Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The management team regularly seeks the views of parents, staff and other professionals, such as the local authority adviser.

They also have good links with the nearby schools. This helps them to drive forward ongoing improvements, thereby, making sure that outcomes for all children are good. • Two members of staff have attended training on how to develop children's curiosity and creative skills.

They now organise the environment so that children can access a range of natural materials. This helps to promote children's sensory and exploratory play well. • Staff provide clear guidance for children about what is, and what is not, acceptable behaviou...r.

They regularly discuss the pre-school rules with children and the reasons why they have them. This helps children to understand what the rules are and why they are needed. Children behave well and show a high regard for one another.

• Children demonstrate that they have positive relationships with staff. They are confident to ask for help and welcome praise for their achievements and efforts. It is not yet outstanding because: • The management team has failed to notify Ofsted of two of the committee members who manage the childcare provision.

As a result, Ofsted have been unable to carry out the required checks to determine their suitability. • Some staff do not focus strongly enough on fully developing their key children's knowledge of shape, space and measurement. • Some staff do not use the information they gather from observing children, to plan precisely, to support children to make rapid progress in their learning.
