Staff receive effective support for their professional development and have a clear understanding of their roles. For example, staff have undertaken training in how to promote children's early mathematical learning. The manager gathers the views of parents, staff and children to help her identify areas for development. She has action plans that have led to improvements in provision; she has a clear vision for the continuous development of the pre-school. Parents spoken to were full of praise for staff and were pleased with their children's progress. They contribute to the initial assessments of their children. Safeguarding is effective.

effective risk assessments so children play in safe environments.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching is good. Staff effectively encourage all children's communication and language skills, including those children who are learning English as an additional language. Teaching styles are adapted to meet the children's different stages of learning. For example, the staff take small groups of children into a side room to help them to concentrate and engage in their learning without distraction. Staff use information from regular observations and assessments to effectively plan for the next steps in children's learning. They have improved children's learning about technology since the previous inspection to help children be well prepared for the next stage in learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and well settled. Staff have a warm rapport with the children. They support children's play effectively. Children are keen to learn and self-assured. They have opportunities to choose what they would like to play with, which help them follow their interests. Children learn about healthy lifestyles effectively and are helped to become independent. At snack time, children eat fruit and they pour their own drinks. Children are physically active. They develop their physical skills well. They benefit from daily opportunities to play outdoors. Staff teach children consistently about good behaviour. They praise children's achievements. They give children a clear understanding of how to behave and to be kind to others. Children learn how to stay safe while playing.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. Children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and, furthermore, school. For example, they gain positive attitudes to learning and good self-help skills.
