Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The quality of teaching is good.

The managers and staff provide children with an exciting learning environment indoors and outdoors. Children are enthusiastic learners and they make very good progress during their time at the pre-school. • Staff place a high priority on developing children's speech and language skills.

They encourage plenty of conversation with children and show a genuine interest in what they say. Children speak confidently with staff, visitors and each other. Staff use sign language and picture cards to communicate with children who require extra support.

• Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (S...END) make good progress and flourish at the pre-school. Staff attend specific training, and work with specialists, parents and carers to ensure that they fully support all children. • Children arrive happy and keen to start their day.

Staff plan and provide a wide variety of exciting resources, activities and experiences for children based on their interests and abilities. Children enjoy activities and join in enthusiastically. • Staff have developed strong links with the host school.

They share information with the teachers to promote continuity in children's care and learning. Children become familiar with the environment as they play in the school grounds and take part in activities in the school hall. This supports their move to school when the time comes.

• The pre-school is well established within the community and some staff have worked there for several years. This helps to provide stability for parents and children. Partnership with parents is a strength of the pre-school.

Staff keep parents fully informed about their children's learning. Parents say they are very happy with the care and education their children receive. • The supervision arrangements to monitor the quality of teaching and evaluate staff practice do not focus sufficiently on raising the quality of teaching to the highest levels.
