Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The playgroup is well organised. Managers and staff effectively implement a good range of records, documents and policies.

Children become familiar with their surroundings quickly and they are content attending. • The environment is welcoming, bright and well resourced. Staff provide children with a range of interesting, exciting and challenging activities, particularly inside.

Children are always busy. They are motivated to play, explore and ...learn. • Teaching is good.

Staff routinely observe children and assess their capabilities. They make use of what they know to plan activities that help to promote the key next steps in children's learning. • The playgroup special educational needs coordinator is highly knowledgeable.

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language benefit from excellent targeted support. All children make good progress in their education. • The playgroup is secure, and staff supervise children closely.

Managers conduct regular risk assessments and staff carry out daily visual safety checks to ensure the environment is continually suitable for use. This helps to keep children safe. • Staff do not always make the best use of the outdoor play provision.

They do not consistently provide the most rich, varied and imaginative activities outside to help promote children's learning at the highest level. • Staff do not consistently share detailed two-way information about children's learning with parents and other providers. Children do not yet benefit from excellent continuity between the playgroup, home and other settings they attend.
