Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The management team has high expectations of staff.

Effective monitoring programmes are in place and staff performance is managed well. • The quality of teaching is good, staff have clear knowledge of the children and their interests. They naturally extend children's thinking skills through purposeful interactions and stimulating experiences.

• Children are highly motivated and eager to join in, they demonstrate positive behaviour as they play imaginatively and cooperatively. They move around the pre-school with confidence as they independently choose where to play. • Assessment is accurate, and all children are making progress.

There is ...a strong focus on developing children's communication and language, physical and social and emotional skills. It is not yet outstanding because: • The pre-school does not give children consistent opportunities to learn about different people and communities to take their understanding of diversity to a higher level. • The pre-school does not seek regular feedback from parents to contribute towards their self-evaluation systems, in order to develop further.
