Inspector highlights - Leadership and management are very strong, with leaders who are ambitious and strive to deliver high-quality care and education. - Partnership with parents is very strong, who appreciate the pre-school working with them and assisting them to access support from outside professionals. - Children are very friendly, caring and independent, showing high levels of respect for each other and supporting each other's learning. - Children have opportunities to learn about science and nature and are highly motivated to learn and eager to join in with interesting activities. - Staff keep children's interests alive by providing different provocations, such as "dinosaur eggs" appearing in the sand, and speculating how they arrived there. Areas to develop - 1 To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: provide support to all children to help them engage in learning and feel valued, to help children make even more progress.

Staff work with children in small groups to help them make the best possible progress. Outdoor space Staff provide a range of activities that are engaging and stimulating, both indoors and outdoors. For example, when children are balancing their way across the tyres on the obstacle course, they rush to hold hands to give others support to cross. EAL / language support While staff learn some words from home to support children who speak English as an additional language, this, and children's culture, could be further embedded in the everyday learning at pre-school. ## Parent Reviews of Lydiard Millicent Pre-school 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIT3OSimDbaDLY9i1Au8FFYsAb2J4YX1hNf071s82Pz6CVLdw=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) Richard Halladay 4 months ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xoR2NETkNha3BtZUVSS1pHaG5RbkJTZWpSd09GRRAB!2m1!1s0x4871436e77cd95ff:0xbda881df63a04621) Reviews from Google for Lydiard Millicent Pre-school.
