What do our parents and Ofsted say?

---

'Children arrive happy at the pre-school and they are warmly greeted by staff. They  understand the routine. Children select their name, place their belongings on a peg  and attach their name card. This gives children a sense of belonging and promotes  independence. Staff thoughtfully support children to separate from their parents.  They offer children a cuddle and seek out their favourite activity. Children value the  caring nature of the staff; they feel reassured and safe. Children soon engage in  the activities set up for them, seeking out their friends to join in with their play.

'He has truly enjoyed his time at preschool! We are so grateful that you’ve seen the true potential in him. You have been so positive with him and challenged him to keep him occupied and busy. He has come on so much. The little touches that you do at preschool, like the postcards home or events for parental involvement is brilliant! He is definitely ready for school and a big thank you goes to you at preschool for preparing him so positively! He will miss you all lots! He will especially miss telling you when he has done something he is proud of or if we’ve visited somewhere. The first thing he says is ‘I need to tell preschool’. Again, from the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful for you allowing his preschool experience to be so positive and fun!' Parent, 2025

'Her confidence has grown massively over the time she has been with you at preschool. Thank you for being a part of her journey, she is going to miss you all.' Parent, 2025    

'You have been incredible and I cannot thank you enough for the care and support you have given my beautiful girl over the last 2 years.' Parent, 2025

'Just feel so proud of my girl and so lucky she’s had such supportive people in her little life.' Parent, 2025

'Thank you to all of you: we could not be more pleased with her time at pre-school. The relationships she has developed with all of you are very special, and we will be forever thankful for the kind and caring way in which you have taken her under your wing.' Parent, 2025

 'The outdoor learning environment provides children with opportunities to explore  and experience physical challenge. For example, children arrange plastic reels,  crates, planks of wood and hoops to make an obstacle course. They take turns to  negotiate their way over the course. Children learn to balance and use their large  muscles for intended movements. They make the activity more challenging by  taking reels away, so they have to stretch their bodies further. Children work  together to rebuild a slope and say 'thank you' to their friends for helping.  Furthermore, children learn to take manageable risks. They skillfully climb trees and  squeal with delight as they swing from the branches.'  Ofsted, 2022

'Staff provide opportunities for the pre-school children to mix with older children.  They huddle together in the cosy area and share their chosen book. This  enhances children's social skills. Children are gaining a love of books. They  benefit from visiting the school's library and take out books to share at home. ' Ofsted 2022

'Thank you so much for this wonderful report. It has been a pleasure to read. We can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work to help him gradually develop in confidence. He talks so happily about preschool. Thank you for all of the wonderful enriching experiences and activities that you have provided over the last two years. We will miss you all lots.' Parent, 2025

'Thank you so much for this comprehensive report, which clearly captures her development and character. We are really proud of her and will celebrate this progress with her, as well as allowing us to reflect on things we can be working on at home.' Parent, 2025 

 'The pre-school staff develop effective links with local schools, supporting a  smooth transition when it is time for children to move on. Furthermore, staff  work closely with other settings that children attend. Children's next steps and  achievements are shared. This joined-up approach ensures consistency for  children and helps them to make progress.' Ofsted, 2022  '  

'Thank you again Nikki, it was an absolute blessing moving him to the preschool last year, he’s come on so much and I really think he’s ready for school in September. So thank you and the other ladies so much!' Parent, 2025

'She’s just so excited for school and it really is down to you and preschool! To think where we’re at now compared to when she started with you makes me so emotional, her confidence has always been brilliant but leaving us has been so hard! And wow how she skips in now and just talks so excitedly about going to school! Priceless!' Parent, 2025
