Arbury Pre-School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Since the last inspection, the provider and managers have evaluated the effectiveness of the pre-school. Staff performance is monitored through supervision meetings and targeted professional development. All staff, including these new to the pre-school, have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities.

Staff provide good opportunities for children to learn about other people and communities, and to reflect on their differences. For example, some staff explain why and how they will be celebrating Eid, and children enjoy dressing up in traditional costumes. Staff promote children's communication and language skills well.

They are aware w...hen children need extra support and work closely with other professionals. Staff plan activities for individual children to help them make more-rapid progress with their speaking and listening skills. Parents speak highly of the staff.

They state their children feel safe and secure, and receive good education that prepares them well for starting school. It is not yet outstanding because: The provider and managers do not routinely seek the views of parents, to act on their ideas as they reflect and evaluate their practice. Staff do not consistently provide opportunities for the older children to extend their writing skills and encourage them to give meaning to marks that they make.
