Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The enthusiastic managers provide strong and ambitious leadership. They set a clear and well-informed direction for further improvement. Self-evaluation is accurate and is based on the views of staff, parents and the children. The commitment of the staff team is reflected in the attractive and well-organised new building. Leaders and managers provide good opportunities for staff to consistently improve their professional skills. They work well with the local authority and other early years providers. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are well trained in child protection and first aid. They make sure that children play in a safe environment. Parents are proud and loyal. They particularly appreciate the quality of regular information they receive about their child's achievements and how they can help them progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff help children to become good learners who are eager, attentive and inquisitive. Staff use a wide range of strategies, including role play, songs and games to make learning fun. They work closely with parents to precisely measure children's starting points. They use this information to plan the next steps in learning. Staff help all children make good progress and to develop their basic skills well. Staff provide strong support to children who find learning difficult for any reason. They make effective use of information from specialists, such as speech therapists and educational psychologists. Staff respond quickly to children's changing needs. They ask skilful questions. They help children of all abilities to become good communicators and to express their thinking.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children feel confident and comfortable in the pre-school. They love the many opportunities they have to explore and develop their own ideas. They learn to apply themselves to a task and organise their own activity. Children are polite and attentive to each other. They listen well to adults and their peers. Children are well behaved and staff set a good example for the children to follow. They help children to be tolerant and to work together. Children share their toys happily and sometimes encourage others to join in their games. Children rise to challenges. They like dressing up and taking the role of adults, such as builders in the construction area. They take pride in placing their equipment carefully back where they found it.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children achieve well during their time at the pre-school. They are well prepared for entering school. They make good gains in their literacy and numeracy skills. Children largely reach the levels expected for their age. Staff react quickly and effectively to support any individuals who are not making expected progress.
