Great Wakering Pre-School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children enjoy their time at the pre-school.

They form close relationships with staff and thrive in a warm and caring environment. These strong emotional attachments have a positive effect on the way children develop. • The partnerships with children and families are very good.

Staff give advice how parents can support their children at home. Parents spoken to at the inspection were very complimentary about the pre-school. • Staff place a clear priority on promoting healthy lifestyles and increasing children's self-help and independence skills.

Children have ample opportunity for fresh air in the outdoors. • The managers and staff are hig...hly motivated and passionate about the service they provide. They are well qualified and regularly complete training to build further on their knowledge and skills.

They evaluate the provision well, identifying areas to develop to provide good outcomes for children. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always support the quieter, less confident children to engage fully in the experiences on offer. • Managers do not ensure that staff consistently seek precise information from parents about children's learning and development before they start at the pre-school.
