Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Partnerships with parents are sensitive, supportive and professional. Parents say they have tremendous trust and respect for the staff.

This strengthens their joint and successful approach to understanding and managing children's behaviour, care and learning across different situations. • Staff share thorough and accurate assessments of children's progress with parents and all those involved in promoting children's care and learning. They quickly recognise when a child is not achieving as well as they might and swiftly seek further help where it is needed.

• Staff are particularly skilled in developing secure relationships with the many young chil...dren who start at the pre-school. Children quickly begin to explore exciting play areas, such as the extensive role-play area and huge outdoor sandpit. • All children make good progress in their learning.

The high proportion of children who arrive with delayed starts in different aspects of their learning and development catch up with their age group in time for school. It is not yet outstanding because: • The listening environment in the main hall does not fully support the good quality of teaching and literacy work that staff are capable of delivering. • The time available for early interventions is reduced because highly qualified staff frequently escort toilet-training toddlers to facilities outside the pre-school rooms.
