Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good The key-person system is effective.

Children are settled, they form good bonds with their key person and are confident to seek comfort from them. This helps to promote children's emotional well-being. The management team has worked with advisors from the local early years team to support staff to embed positive behaviour management strategies.

Staff have undertaken training and work well together to ensure children understand expected behaviours in the pre-school. Children behave well and listen carefully to staff. Partnerships with parents are strong.

Staff gather detailed information about children's learning at home from when they start.... Parents give positive feedback about how caring and supportive staff are. They comment how staff share information and resources to support them with any changes at home.

For example, staff support parents when they start to toilet train their child or with how to talk about feelings at difficult times with their child. It is not yet outstanding because: At times, staff do not always plan with a sharp focus on children's next steps to help children make even better progress. Although the management team reviews the progress of groups of children, the system is not fully implemented to check that all children receive the support they need promptly.
