Ofsted Inspection Summary

Elham Pre School was inspected by Ofsted on 23 September 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate. In their report, inspectors noted: "Despite previous inspections highlighting the weaknesses within the setting, the leadership and management have not yet fully addressed these areas. As a result, staff still do not clearly understand their responsibility in meeting the care and learning needs of children. Additionally, the provider has not made sure that members of the management committee understand their roles and responsibilities or that they have completed relevant documentation to ensure that suitability checks can be carried out by Ofsted."

Key strengths

  • The provider has not addressed the weaknesses identified at the previous inspection to ensure staff understand their roles and responsibilities.
  • The provider follows the staff-to-child ratios as set out in the statutory guidance.
  • The provider has not ensured that there is a designated special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) within the setting to support children with SEND.
  • The provider does not ensure staff have a secure understanding of how to manage children's behaviour.
  • The provider has not devised a well-structured, focused curriculum that is implemented by staff.
