OFSTED REPORT / 12th February 2025

A Good School.

Leaders demonstrate a clear vision for the setting. They work well together to keep children safe and help them to gain the knowledge and skills they need to be ready for their next stage.

Staff expertly dive into children's play outside, helping them to be active. Children enjoy climbing up the bank and moving in a variety of ways. Staff's positive reinforcement motivates children to try new things, helping to develop their self-esteem.

Children develop strong relationships with staff. Parents comment on the positive relationships children have with their key person.

Children flourish as they eagerly demonstrate what they learn, applying this through their play. Staff consistently notice children's learning and build on what they know and can do.

Leaders adopt a curriculum to help staff deliver the unique experiences children need to learn and develop well. Staff dedicate their time playing with children and follow children's lead to guide them in their imaginative play.

Children feel safe and secure. Throughout the day, they happily explore, learn and develop. Most children feel confident to ask for help and seek out staff to play, share ideas and experiences. Children have positive behaviour and attitudes.

A highly qualified and professional staff team committed to their own continual professional development and that of the pre-school.
