Ofsted Inspection May 2025

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve received a ‘Good’ rating in our most recent Ofsted report. We were really pleased with this outcome, and we think it really reflects the hard work of our Purple Ladies, and demonstrates how happy our children are.

Some of our favourite quotes from the inspector’s report include:

Children settle with ease and develop close attachments with staff in this bright and welcoming pre-school.

Children laugh infectiously with their friends as they pour water into large tubs of soil, commenting that they have ‘made a mud bath’.

Staff provide an exciting curriculum based on their knowledge of what children need to learn.

The children access a broad and balanced curriculum that helps to ensure that they embed skills across all areas of learning. Staff follow children’s interests and provide plenty of opportunities for children to freely explore and lead their own learning.
