Ofsted Inspection Summary

Grappenhall Pre-School was inspected by Ofsted on 17 October 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "The committee-led pre-school at the centre of the community has enabled the warm and friendly staff to form strong bonds with the children and their families. Children are eager to enter the pre-school as they confidently separate from their parents before searching for their friends. They quickly engage in their choice of play activities that staff have planned for them."

Key strengths

  • While staff know the children well and form strong bonds with them, the key- person system is not firmly embedded.
  • Staff plan daily routines from the moment children arrive to develop their independence skills.
  • Children are developing an understanding of leading healthy lifestyles.
  • Staff support children to develop their mathematical skills through exploration and play.
  • Leaders and staff recognise the value of continuous quality improvement.

Areas for improvement

  • further develop a broad and sequenced curriculum to differentiate children's learning and development
  • further enhance the key-worker system to build on what children know and can do
  • target staff's precise professional development needs to support their continuous professional development.
