Teddy’s Ofsted Report

Children feel safe and secure at the pre-school because leaders are dedicated to providing a caring and nurturing environment for them and their families. Staff develop friendly and fun relationships with children and take particular care to support those who are new or unsure. They adapt starting arrangements to suit the children's needs and are loving and comforting to children as they begin to explore the activities on offer.

Carefully chosen books and attractively presented areas are used well by staff, children and parents. Sharing stories happens continuously, including between parents and children while waiting to enter the pre-school.

Leaders are committed to meeting the needs of the children and families who attend, including those who receive additional funding and children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Staff work well with parents to ensure children receive consistent care and learning experiences. Parents trust staff and speak highly of the support they receive, for example when introducing potty training. Staff are adaptable in the ways they communicate with parents, meaning information between home and the setting is shared well.
