Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff gather views of parents and effectively use these to shape the service they provide. Recent suggestions from parents has been to increase the use of photos. Staff now share photos, helping parents to see what children are doing.

This helps parents to discuss with children how their day has been. This helps to provide good continuity of care. • Staff are consistent in their approach to behaviour management.

They teach children how to share and to use their words to express their feelings. Children behave well. • The manager reviews practice in the pre-school well.

She evaluates the quality of activities, helping staff to adapt activi...ties to make sure all children are able to participate and learn from them. • Staff gather key words in children's home language helping them to understand routines and what is happening next. This helps children to learn new words in English supporting their language development.

It is not yet outstanding because: • Tracking of groups of children is in its infancy. The manager has not identified where children's progress is not as good as other areas of learning, and how to effectively use this information, to rapidly close gaps in children's learning. • There are not as many opportunities to extend children's understanding of information technology and how things work and why.
