Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager is committed to the continued development of the pre-school. She seeks the views of children, staff and parents to help her to evaluate practice.

She identifies areas to develop so that provision is closely matched to children's needs. The staff work well together and share good practice with each other. They communicate well throughout the day to ensure they meet children's needs.

Staff benefit from a wide range of training opportunities to enhance their personal practice. Staff demonstrate effective teaching skills. They follow children's interests as they play.

They ask children questions and encourage them to use their thin...king skills. Staff know the children well and regularly provide them with challenge to extend their learning. Children are busy and engaged throughout the day in well-planned and interesting activities.

They demonstrate that they are eager to learn in both adult-led and independent play. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They teach children to be polite and use good manners.

Children build secure attachments with staff and each other. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not consistently encourage younger children to 'have a go' at small tasks and develop their independence in self-care. While staff work effectively in partnership with some parents, they do not consistently engage all parents to support children's learning in the pre-school and at home.
