Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The management team successfully reflects on its practice. It seeks the views of staff and parents and precisely plans ways to improve the quality of the provision for all children continually. • Effective systems are in place for the supervision and professional development of staff.

The quality of teaching is consistently strong. • The management team establishes successful partnerships with specialists and relevant professionals. This helps ensure that children and their families receive prompt support.

• The key-person system is used effectively. Staff know their key children extremely well. Their assessments of children's progress are accurat...e.

Staff identify any gaps in learning swiftly. They put interventions in place quickly to enable children to make good progress from their starting points. • Staff have high expectations.

They are strong role models and support children well to develop their personal and social skills. • Transition arrangements are successful. Staff work effectively in partnership with parents.

They create flexible plans to support the youngest children to adjust to the pre-school. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, staff do not organise group sessions as well as they could do to meet the needs of the youngest children when new children are settling. • The outdoor environment is yet to be fully developed to encourage children to make greater use of the facilities and resources all year round.
