Ofsted Inspection Summary

Lexden Lodge Kindergarten was inspected by Ofsted on 17 October 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children enter the kindergarten confidently and wave a cheery goodbye to their parents and carers. They are greeted by smiling staff, who take time to find out what they have been doing at home and how they are feeling. Children are very familiar with the kindergarten and know where to place their coats and other belongings."

Key strengths

  • Parents spoken to at the time of the inspection speak highly of the staff and management team.
  • Children engage in a wide range of activities during their kindergarten day.
  • Staff help children to develop a greater understanding of numbers and mathematical concepts during their everyday activities.
  • Children enjoy listening to stories read by staff as well as looking at books.
  • Children have fun finding pirate related items buried in sand.

Areas for improvement

  • monitor and further develop interactions between staff and children to raise the quality of teaching and learning to a consistently high level
  • review the provision for children to freely express themselves, for example, through creative play, to promote and spark their imagination.
