Ofsted Inspection Summary

Radcliffe On Trent Pre-School Playgroup was inspected by Ofsted on 26 June 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff are welcoming, greet children with smiles and continue to create a positive and happy environment throughout the day. This supports children's well-being and sense of belonging, which is seen very clearly through children's enjoyment of being at pre-school. Staff have a clear and ambitious curriculum for all children to develop the skills, knowledge and dispositions they need for their future learning."

Key strengths

When staff read stories to children, they use different tones of voice and use resources to support children's understanding.
The staff team uses children's initial visits to the setting to promote their emotional well-being.
Children respond positively to praise from staff, and some children replicate this modelled behaviour in their own play.
Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well.
Children have daily opportunities to be outside in the fresh air and play with a wide range of resources.

Areas for improvement

build on staff's knowledge of the curriculum intent so that they are clear about what skills and knowledge they want children to gain from experiences
strengthen staff's understanding of how to make greater use of planned group activities to help maintain children's interest and engagement
provide children with further support in managing their feelings and behaviour so that they can share resources and resolve conflicts during their chosen play.
