Belgrave Playgroup

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager and staff have made many changes since the last inspection.

The manager uses effective methods to monitor staff's practice and to support staff with their professional development. This means that teaching is consistently good. • Children behave well.

Staff are consistent in their approach to promote positive behaviour, such as sharing, taking turns and using good manners. In-house training helps staff to develop strategies to manage children's behaviour positively. • Staff offer parents and children settling-in sessions when they first start and they visit children in their home.

They find out important information about chil...dren's care and prior learning. This helps them to plan for children's good progress when they start. Children demonstrate that they are emotionally secure.

• The deputy manager monitors the progress made by individual and groups of children. This helps her to support staff in helping children to develop their speaking skills. • Staff offer children an inviting range of toys and resources that children are keen to access.

Children make choices in their play and enjoy playing alongside their friends, which helps to develop their social skills. It is not yet outstanding because: • Systems to enable parents to contribute to the self-evaluation of the playgroup are not embedded. • Staff do not provide enough opportunities for children to develop their understanding of technology.
