This provision is good

 The parents are extremely happy with the quality of teaching and care given to their children. They feel their children develop well in pre-school's nurturing environment.  The manager has a good self-evaluation process that takes into account the views of parents, staff and children. She carries out audits and reviews, and listens to feedback. She uses these to create comprehensive action plans that guide improvements for children's learning experiences.  The manager supervises staff well. She monitors their teaching and trains them in areas where they need support. This helps staff have a good understanding of child development and means they support children to make good progress.  Staff have high expectations of children and constantly track their progress to ensure children achieve well in their learning. This helps prepare children with the skills they need for their next stage in learning, including readiness school.

who attend. This is good

Children are confident, form friendships and play together. They share and talk about what they are doing. For example, two children built a rocket together and talked about how to stabilise it and fix its broken wing. Staff extend children's learning through art. For example, while they explore creative materials, staff encourage children to talk about their experiences and ask challenging questions that extend their language. There is a strong focus on communication and language development. As a result, children are confident communicators. Staff fully support diversity and celebrate the cultures and languages reflected in the setting, promoting children's self-esteem. Staff organise outings and visits from people in the community to further develop children's understanding of the world. Staff develop strong partnerships with parents and other professionals.

good

Children develop secure relationships with staff, which help build their confidence and emotional security. The manager and staff work together with local schools to ensure children are well prepared for reception. Staff manage children's behaviour well. They talk calmly and help children engage with activities after any disruptions. As a result, children behave very well. Children enjoy the outdoor area, where they develop their physical skills. Staff follow good hygiene routines. They remind children to wash their hands before eating. Children enjoy snacks of fruit salad and learn about healthy diets. These activities help to promote children's physical well-being.

provision is good

The manager has high ambitions to improve the already good quality of the pre-school. For example, the manager responds to parents' feedback to enhance practice further. The manager monitors her staff well and they all receive regular individual support. Additionally, the manager reviews staff planning to ensure it is effective and meets the needs of all children. Staff are well qualified and attend in-house training to extend their knowledge further. They have recently attended training about how to teach two-year- olds. This has raised awareness of how young children learn. The staff have made changes to their approach and now plan more effectively for the needs of the two-year- olds, supporting young children's learning. Overall, staff are well qualified and this helps to ensure they delivery good quality teaching and children make good progress in their learning and development.
