The manager welcomes feedback from parents and other professionals, which she uses to help her evaluate practice and make changes to enhance the pre-school further. • Children develop strong bonds with staff from the start. They seek the attention of the caring and sensitive staff, who offer them plenty of support.

Staff effectively recognise situations when children may need extra reassurance. Parents refer to the 'fantastic' staff team. • Partnerships with parents are well developed.

Effective infor...mation sharing supports children's development and care needs well. This helps to ensure a consistent approach and enables children to develop skills to support their future learning. It is not yet outstanding because: • On occasions, some staff do not use their good knowledge of children's abilities and interests to build on play experiences and further enhance children's learning.

• The manager does not consistently identify or monitor gaps in the progress between groups of children so that steps can be taken to close them more rapidly. • Staff do not consistently implement highly successful procedures to ensure all aspects of the environment are well maintained. Consequently, some areas of the setting are less inviting and do not provide children with a highly stimulating space in which to play.
