Apsley Lock Pre School was inspected by Ofsted on 19 October 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are enthusiastic to join in with learning where they have opportunities to extend their communication and language skills, including through songs at circle time, such as the 'hello song'. Staff encourage children through positive interactions to confidently describe what they see, using rich language and vocabulary. The children have rich experiences exploring outdoors, where they confidently find out about understanding the world around them."
