It is not yet outstanding because:

 Routine activities such as snack time provide a good learning opportunity for children but are not always well organised, meaning that sometimes children have to wait too long to join in and some lose interest.  At times, the noise level in the pre-school has an impact on those children who wish to play quietly and concentrate.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The committee and managers work well together to provide good support to the staff, children and parents at the pre-school. For example, the managers monitor children's progress well and hold regular meetings with staff to identify and close any gaps in children's learning. All documentation required for the safe management of the provision is well maintained. Partnership with parents and professionals is strong, with staff working in harmony with outside agencies to support and meet the needs of the children well. Parents clearly value the contribution that the staff make to their children's learning, and they comment favourably on the staff's dedication and good quality teaching. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a strong understanding of their role and responsibility for child protection and are confident about what to do if they have concerns about a child.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are settled and at ease in the pre-school. They enter the provision with confidence and join their friends in activities that interest them and promote their learning and development. Children develop their physical and listening skills well. For example, as they take part in music and movement time, they listen carefully to the words and follow these with aeroplane actions and movements. Staff support and challenge children's communication and mathematical learning well. For example, during games the staff ask children questions to extend their learning, such as encouraging them to think of the colours and numbers found on cards and bottles.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and show politeness and consideration to each other. For example, when playing games children wait patiently for their friends to have their turn. Staff consistently use all opportunities to aid the children's understanding of how they can be safe. For example, staff talk to the children about their water area being slippery and remind children how they need to lift the dressing-up dresses up when walking so they do not trip or fall. Hygiene practice is good and well supervised. All staff are trained in first aid, and suitable emergency equipment is within reach to enable a quick response if needed in the event of any accidents.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making positive steps in their learning and development. They are well supported by staff, which helps them to be prepared for their next stage in learning. Children are engaged in their learning, developing good imaginative skills, supported by staff. For example, at inspection, the children dressed up and staff joined in with re- enacting films and popular songs from familiar stories.
