Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children have strong relationships with their key person. Staff support children's sense of emotional well-being effectively.

Children demonstrate they are happy, safe and secure in the pre-school. • Staff build close working relationships with parents and work together to support children in a consistent manner. They share information with them regularly and offer suggestions about how parents can help children's learning at home.

• All children make good progress from their starting points. Staff make regular observations of children's achievements and use them well to plan interesting activities. • Children develop good social skills and enjoy ...playing with their friends and staff.

Staff are positive role models and provide children with good examples of how to interact with others, such as taking turns and sharing. Children behave well. • Good self-evaluation helps the manager to identify strengths and areas for development.

She successfully seeks the views of staff and parents to help make the changes and improvements to the pre-school to benefit all children. It is not yet outstanding because: • At times, staff do not recognise some opportunities to extend older children's interest in mathematical language and concepts to the highest possible level. • Children do not consistently get the opportunity to complete self-chosen activities to their own satisfaction as staff call them to join in with group times.
