Kintbury Pre-School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The new manager has made some very positive changes to the pre-school since the last inspection. For example, all children's learning is now observed and tracked, and next steps in learning are effectively planned for, which supports good outcomes for children.

• Staff set up and provide a welcoming environment for the children to learn and play. Children are happy and settled at the pre-school and enjoy the vast range of activities which staff provide to support their ongoing learning and development. • Children are confident and have clearly built some positive relationships with staff and other children.

For instance, they take turns and enjoy... comfort with staff when needed. • Partnerships with parents are good. For example, staff welcome parents at the door to gain valuable feedback about the children's pervious evening, to support continuity of care.

• The committee implements robust recruitment procedures and carries out the required checks for new staff. This ensures all staff are suitable to work with children. • At times, some staff do not give children enough time to think and respond to questions to develop their own ideas.

• On occasions, some staff do not help children to understand why rules are in place, to help them learn and understand the reasoning for boundaries within the pre-school. • The committee and manager do not reflect effectively to help them identify and target all areas for improvement. To help raise the quality of the provision to the highest level.
