Ofsted Inspection Summary

Kirkham Pre-School Ltd was inspected by Ofsted on 28 September 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children settle in extremely well as a result of the caring and cheerful staff team and effective care practices consistently implemented. Staff show high expectations of children's achievements. As a result, children very quickly become independent, confident and motivated learners who delight in exploring the large, free-flow environment and wide range of activities available."

Key strengths

  • Overall, the manager ensures that the curriculum is well understood and implemented by staff.
  • Activities are carefully planned to provide children with exciting and stimulating opportunities to practise their skills.
  • Staff use positive reinforcement and consistent reminders to help children learn safe behaviours, such as using their 'walking feet' while inside.
  • Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is excellent.
  • The professional development of staff is highly effective.

Areas for improvement

  • embed the curriculum intent more securely and consistently so that all staff have a firm and common understanding and what this means for their practice
  • strengthen the curriculum to promote children's skills in managing their own feelings and behaviour.
