Ofsted Inspection Summary

Cashes Green Playgroup was inspected by Ofsted on 12 September 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff demonstrate warmth, calmness and respect towards children, creating a nurturing and supportive environment. Children show they feel secure and engage confidently in activities. Staff interactions, such as using children's names, making eye contact and responding sensitively to their needs, build strong attachments and promote emotional well-being."

Key strengths

  • Staff speak positively about their professional development since receiving support from the school and local authority.
  • The setting uses 'Golden Rules' to support behaviour management and shared responsibility.
  • Children enjoy regular access to the outdoor area, benefiting from fresh air and physical activity.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff to make the most of teachable moments to extend children's learning

  • enhance the outdoor area to provide all children, particularly those who prefer to learn outdoors, with more varied and stimulating outdoor learning…
