Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • This is a happy and inclusive playgroup that is regarded highly by parents and carers.

Typical comments from parents include: 'My children have come on in leaps and bounds' and 'My child absolutely loves it here'. Parents value the ways in which staff and parents work in collaboration to support children's learning and development. • Children have fun at the playgroup.

Staff offer consistent praise and encouragement, which support children's self-esteem well. Children's behaviour is good. • The manager is well supported by a dedicated team.

Together, they evaluate their work well and have a clear understanding of the playgroup's strengths... and areas for improvement. • Staff have created a learning environment which is inviting and engaging, inside and outside. They plan interesting activities to support children's learning and development well.

Children make good progress and are well prepared for the move to school. It is not yet outstanding because: • Sometimes, group activities are not sufficiently challenging to meet the needs of the oldest and the most able children. • Although staff monitor children's progress effectively, they have not had time to embed the newly implemented assessment system, so that they all use it consistently well.
