Ofsted Inspection Summary

Kings Castle Lodge was inspected by Ofsted on 5 August 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children arrive happy and very keen to attend. They move around freely and make their own activity choices in the safe and secure play areas. Children create their own imaginative games, such as acting out their home experiences and excavating with construction vehicles in sand and stones."

Key strengths

  • Staff allow children time and space to complete the activities they choose, as well as joining in at appropriate times to motivate them to learn more.
  • Children gain the skills they need to help prepare them well for school and their future learning.
  • Children learn new words regularly to build their vocabulary.
  • Staff help children to develop healthy lifestyles.
  • Leaders have a good oversight of the setting and ensure all staff are suitable to care for children.

Areas for improvement

  • improve the organisation of planned group activities in the playroom to help maintain all children's engagement and interest
  • develop staff interactions with children to allow younger children more time to think and talk to develop their communication skills even further.
