The committee and manager recognise the importance of reflection and making continual improvements to the pre-school. They take account of parent's views and opinions when implementing any changes. The manager is an excellent teaching role model for her staff team who offer consistently good learning opportunities for children.

The staff team have a clear overview of what children can do... and what they need to learn next. Children thoroughly enjoy staff's enthusiastic, positive and supportive involvement in their play. Staff show a genuine interest in what children are doing and provide good support for them to develop their own ideas.

Children behave well and play harmoniously together. During very minor disagreements, staff empower children to think about their actions, for instance, saying, 'You need to tell your friend to stop and ask them to help you instead'. It is not yet outstanding because: The performance management of staff does not yet fully support all staff to provide outstanding teaching, to help children make the best possible progress in their learning.
