Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager and committee members work closely together and promptly address any actions that they identify. They take account of the views of parents, children and the pre-school team to inform planning for any changes.

• The pre-school team recognises the great importance of partnership working with parents. Staff regularly exchange two-way information with parents and help to guide their children's activities at home. • Staff nurture children's confidence and self-esteem.

There is a strong focus on supporting the development of children's communication and language skills during routines and across the wide range of activities. Children make go...od progress from when they begin to attend. • Staff get to know individual children's needs and interests very well.

They implement the key-person system effectively and children develop secure emotional attachments with staff. • Children consistently behave well for their ages and understand what is expected of them. They are polite and kind towards each other.

It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasion, staff do not give children sufficient time to think and answer questions. • Staff do not consistently organise activities and resources as well as possible to help extend children's learning even further. • The programme of professional development is not yet sharply targeted to support staff to improve their practice and knowledge to an even higher level.
