Ofsted Inspection Summary
Kingston Park Playgroup was inspected by Ofsted on 10 October 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children receive a very warm welcome from all the staff at the start of the morning. They demonstrate a good understanding of the daily routine as they put their name tags on the attendance board before finding their own pegs to hang up their coats. Children then eagerly go to explore the playroom to see what interesting activities staff have set up for them."
Key strengths
- The newly developed curriculum is securely centred around the learning needs of the children who attend.
- Staff place a considerable emphasis on supporting children's communication and language skills.
- The playgroup's routine has a good balance of personal time, when children can choose their own activities, and of group time, when all children come together.
- Children have many opportunities to develop their physical skills.
- Children are starting to develop their independence and self-care skills, such as using the toilet independently and washing their hands.
Areas for improvement
- consider how daily routines could be developed to minimise disruption to children's engagement in their learning and play
- provide further opportunities for children to develop the skills they need to prepare them for the next stage in their learning.
