Ofsted Inspection Summary

Little Buddies Pre-School was inspected by Ofsted on 20 June 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate. In their report, inspectors noted: "Leaders have limited capacity to improve the pre-school. Since the last inspection, despite addressing some areas, leaders have not done enough and key weaknesses remain. As a result, children are still not receiving a good enough early education."

Key strengths

  • Staff do not uphold boundaries consistently, which means that children are unclear about rules and routines.
  • Planned learning is not delivered effectively by staff and leaders do not do enough to monitor the implementation of the curriculum.
  • Staff do not support babies adequately to develop their early communication skills.
  • Staff know what their key children need but lack this understanding for others.
  • Leaders consider the interests of children when spending additional funding.

Areas for improvement

  • strengthen hygiene practices in order to teach children the importance of personal hygiene.
