Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The pre-school staff have developed an effective key-person system and know the children's families very well. Teaching is good. Children make good progress from their starting points. Staff plan exciting opportunities to motivate children to reach the next steps in their learning. Staff provide opportunities for children to borrow books, to share with their parents. This helps parents to continue children's learning at home. Children have good opportunities to develop early reading skills. For example, they independently select their names to register their attendance. Children enjoy activities to develop their mathematical skills. For instance, during a play dough activity, staff encourage children to measure the amount of ingredients needed to make the dough. Parents are kept well informed about what happens at pre-school through a variety of ways, such as newsletters and one-to-one meetings.

Children arrive confidently and show that they feel safe and secure. Staff encourage children to be independent. Children are respectful and are tolerant of each other. Staff join in conversations with children about their healthy choices at snack time. Children build trusting relationships with staff and are happy and comfortable in their learning environment. Staff effectively teach children about expected behaviour. Children behave well and share and take turns during group activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need to prepare them for future learning and their eventual move on to school. They are given opportunities to develop good independence skills. For example, children are encouraged to put on their coats to play outdoors and their apron when painting at the easel. Children who learn English as an additional language are well supported in their use of new vocabulary. Staff prepare older children well for their move on to school. For example, they learn to identify the initial sounds of words and practise writing their names.
