Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager and staff have an excellent understanding of keeping children safe and secure. Staff are highly vigilant in reviewing and implementing the kindergarten's comprehensive safety procedures to ensure children's safety, welfare and good health.

Children benefit from the strong ethos of community spirit, inclusion and overall well-being created by the staff. Children are encouraged to think about people whose life experience is different from their own. They learn to develop kindness, helpfulness and consideration of others.

Teaching is good. Staff are particularly skilled at supporting children's communication and language. Circle times are ...used effectively to develop children's talking and listening skills.

Children join in familiar stories and sing rhymes and songs. They learn simple words in Hebrew and learn to use sign language. Partnerships with parents and other professionals are strong and contribute to boosting children's attainment.

Parents make positive comments. For example, they say, 'My child has really developed here, she is doing so well with writing, letter sounds and numbers'. It is not yet outstanding because: While staff find out information about children's interests and care needs on entry, they find out less about what children can already do.

Planning to help children learn from the outset is less swift. Staff focus on acquisition of English with children who speak English as an additional language. However, less emphasis is given to promoting children's home languages.
