Ofsted Inspection Summary

Octotots Pre School was inspected by Ofsted on 21 March 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children arrive at the pre-school where they are warmly greeted by staff. Some children are confident in their surroundings and quickly settle with their chosen activity. Some children who are newer to the pre-school, receive further sensitive interactions and reassurance from staff and then happily join their friends."

Key strengths

  • Staff promote routine opportunities for children to practise their small motor skills, for example, peeling fruit and pouring water.
  • Staff identify children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities who, therefore, may need additional support.
  • Staff support communication and language development.
  • Staff work closely with parents and provide them with daily information about their child's learning.
  • Staff's interactions with children are, on the whole, sensitive and supportive.

Areas for improvement

  • strengthen planning to provide a wider range of opportunities for children to develop their gross motor skills further
  • improve responses to quieter children when they attempt to join in activities.
