Ofsted Inspection Summary

Moonbeams Preschool was inspected by Ofsted on 16 June 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children attending this setting experience a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment where they are supported to flourish in all areas of development. Staff are positive role models and are on hand to ignite children's curiosity as they explore the learning environment. For example, as children investigate the mud tray, staff prompt discussions about the texture of the mud, introducing words such as 'sticky', 'squelchy' and 'gooey'."

Key strengths

  • The pre-school is highly inclusive.
  • Staff know all the children and their families very well.
  • Staff implement an effective curriculum for physical development.
  • Children's communication and language development is supported well.
  • Staff provide children with regular praise and encouragement, which supports their confidence and raises their self-esteem.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff to recognise when opportunities arise to extend children's learning further, particularly in relation to their behaviour.
