Ofsted Inspection Summary
Greendown Playgroup was inspected by Ofsted on 19 April 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are happy and confident in the playgroup and form strong relationships with staff. They really benefit from the well-thought-out and targeted curriculum that staff form based on children's learning needs and interests. Managers and staff have high expectations for children's capabilities."
Key strengths
- Staff use distraction, discussion and negotiation effectively to help children to manage their emotions, channel their energy and share toys and resources.
- Staff hold meetings with parents to discuss children's learning and development.
- Staff lead beneficial group activities to promote children's skills across multiple areas of their development.
- Staff get down to children's level and use clear speech and model words to ensure that children understand and progress their skills as they play.
- Each child's key person liaises with parents when children start, and on an ongoing basis, to gain knowledge of children's needs and interests.
Areas for improvement
- review and enhance the support staff offer to children during group activities, to extend children's skills further
- strengthen the links with other settings children attend, to share information to inform future planning and to provide a consistent approach for children.
