Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The key-person system is effective.

Children benefit from effective partnerships between their parents and the pre-school. Practitioners confidently share relevant information. This means parents receive the support and guidance they need to extend their children's learning at home.

Practitioners and leaders put children at the centre of everything they do. The strong ethos is evident throughout the pre-school. Children are emotionally secure and confident in the welcoming, nurturing environment provided for them.

Practitioners arrange the learning environment for children well. It is imaginatively and creatively organised to provide a sti...mulating space. This helps children to explore recent learning, practise new skills and follow their own interests.

Leaders are highly motivated and strive for excellence. There are good systems in place to reflect on practice and prioritise improvements. They have the full support of the committee and the practitioner team's commitment to their work with children.

It is not yet outstanding because: Information from assessment, although accurate, is not always used in a timely manner to precisely match children's individual learning needs. As a result, children do not always have enough opportunities to achieve at the very highest levels. Systems developed to monitor the progress that different groups of children are making are not fully embedded into practice.
