Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children benefit from a welcoming and nurturing learning environment where they feel safe and secure. Staff give children reassurance and praise as they learn new skills. Children develop a good sense of belonging and self-worth.

Their behaviour is good. • The provider and manager are committed to continually evolving pre-school practice. They work together closely to review practice and lead ongoing improvements.

• Children are inquisitive and enjoy exploring the natural environment. They imaginatively use a variety of resources to embed learning and develop new skills. All children make good progress from their starting points and thoroughly enj...oy learning.

• Parents speak highly of the pre-school, and are happy with the care their children receive. They report that the staff are welcoming and share regular information with them. This helps to provide consistency in children's learning and development.

It is not yet outstanding because: • Occasionally, the monitoring of assessments of some children is not rigorous enough to swiftly identify any emerging gaps in achievement. • The management team has not fully implemented highly effective performance management systems that help to raise practice to an outstanding level. • Staff provide fewer experiences that help children to learn about different cultures and support their understanding of the wider world.
