Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The manager and staff have worked extremely hard to address the actions from the previous inspection. All staff have received support and training to raise the quality of teaching to a consistently good level.

Staff provide varied play spaces for children to learn indoors and outdoors. Children have plenty of opportunities to make decisions about how and what they want to play. Children are confident and motivated to learn.

Partnerships with parents are a key strength of the pre-school. This successfully helps to promote consistency and continuity of care and learning. Staff provide children with many opportunities to learn about healthy lifestyles....

They talk to children about the types of food that are good for them and encourage them to feel their heart beating after they have participated in exercise. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not consistently encourage parents to share what they already know about their children's learning when they first start. Staff provide few experiences that help children to learn about different cultures and support their understanding of the wider world.
