Ofsted Inspection Summary
Hedgehogs Hempstead Preschool was inspected by Ofsted on 24 January 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children clearly demonstrate that they feel happy and safe in the homely environment that is created at the nursery. For instance, on arrival, children quickly separate from their parents as they are greeted by the enthusiastic and welcoming staff team. They freely explore the stimulating activities that have been set up to provoke curiosity and awe."
Key strengths
- Staff and leaders create an environment that is well planned to support their curriculum and meet the needs of most children, including children with SEND.
- Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and conduct.
- Staff generally support children well to be independent in their self-care routines.
- Partnerships with parents are a real strength of the nursery.
Areas for improvement
- support staff to interact with younger children more effectively and give them the skills to develop their own ideas during play
- review opportunities to encourage children to complete routine tasks for themselves.
