Little Jimmy’s Pre-school

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Since the last inspection, the manager and staff have worked extremely hard to develop their skills and raise the quality of provision. The manager observes staff regularly and uses this as a tool to evaluate and drive improvement in teaching practice. The key-person system is effective.

Children are confident and happy. They form strong bonds with staff, who know them well. Children's emotional well-being is well supported.

Self-evaluation is effective. Staff use action plans to prioritise improvements. The manager demonstrates a drive for continuous improvement and a commitment to providing high-quality care and learning for all children.
.../>Partnerships with parents are highly effective. There is a two-way flow of information. Staff engage parents in their child's learning and share information using a variety of methods.

Parents praise staff and comment that they are caring and supportive. The environment is stimulating and well resourced. Children have the opportunity to explore and investigate a wide range of activities.

All children make good progress. It is not yet outstanding because: Monitoring of children's progress, in order to get a clearer overview of progress relating to specific groups of children, is not fully embedded. At times, adult-led activities are not sufficiently well organised to meet the learning needs of the youngest children consistently.
