Ofsted Inspection Summary
1St Steps Preschool was inspected by Ofsted on 19 January 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children enter happily and settle quickly on arrival. They have strong emotional attachments to the caring staff, who cuddle and comfort them as and when needed. This helps children to feel safe and secure, as do the consistent and well- organised daily routines that children are clearly familiar with."
Key strengths
- When the national COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, staff noted some delay in children's development.
- Staff continually observe and assess children's development and plan an effective curriculum, overall.
- In order to minimise the continuing risk of transmitting COVID-19, parents are not routinely entering the building.
- Where language barriers exist, staff use visual aids to support children's early communication skills and understanding of daily routines.
- Older children show great imagination.
Areas for improvement
- monitor staff's practice more closely to ensure their provision consistently focuses on two-year-old children's most significant next steps in learning
- strengthen planning of adult-planned activities for older children in order to focus teaching more precisely on the targeted learning intentions.
