Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Staff make good use of information from their observations of children's play to accurately assess what they know and can do. Planning is effective and sharply focused on children's individual interests and their next steps in learning.

Children make good progress. The environment indoors and outdoors, is well organised and resourced with a wide range of good-quality toys and equipment that successfully captures children's interest. Children are eager to participate in the exciting range of activities on offer.

They are independent, confident and motivated learners. Children make close emotional relationships with their key person and strong friend...ships with each other. They seek out their key person for reassurance when they feel a little unsettled.

Children are happy in the pre-school and demonstrate good levels of emotional security. This has a positive impact on their well-being. Staff work in close partnership with external professionals and the host school, which some children also attend.

They effectively share information about children's care and learning to help promote good consistency and continuity for all children. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not seek detailed information from parents about what children know and can do when they first start at the pre-school. Self-evaluation does not sharply focus on targeting precise areas for improvement to help to further enhance learning outcomes for children.
