Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children develop a strong understanding of the world around them at the playgroup. Staff provide a range of enriching activities outdoors, such as going on a walk to the allotment and collecting autumn leaves and conkers.

• Children settle quickly into the playgroup. They are extremely familiar with the routines of the session. They form strong relationships with the staff and know who to turn to if they need support.

• Children concentrate well. The range of resources supports children to focus at the activities they choose. Staff interact positively with children, which supports all of them to make good levels of progress from their starting poi...nts.

• Staff keep parents well informed about the procedures to follow regarding illnesses in the playgroup. They remind parents about the guidelines for children returning after they have been unwell and are vigilant in keeping toys and resources clean to support children's well-being. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff are not consistently offered enough training opportunities to develop their professional knowledge further so that they can support children to achieve even more in their learning.
