Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • A great strength of the pre-school is the homely and welcoming environment. Parents are delighted with the standard of care their children receive from the staff. All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, and those who are learning English as an additional language, make good progress in their learning.

• Partnerships with parents, other providers and external agencies are effective. A wide range of information is shared consistently, which helps enable staff to meet children's individual needs successfully. • Parents are well involved in their children's learning.

Staff ensure parents know how their chi...ldren are progressing and give parents the knowledge to support their children's learning at home. For example, weekly emails sharing the topic of the week helps to encourage continued learning at home. • Children are well motivated to learn and quickly become independent.

For instance, they develop confidence in their self-care skills and pour drinks during snack time. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff have not fully considered ways to consistently engage young children during group activities, to help them remain fully involved and interested. • The guidance and coaching of staff are not rigorous enough to ensure teaching is consistently of a very high quality.
