Ofsted Inspection Summary

St Mark'S Preschool was inspected by Ofsted on 4 November 2021 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children form strong bonds with their key persons and other members of staff.

The youngest children enjoy moving toys and equipment around their large playroom, negotiating obstacles as they confidently carry objects."

  • Staff use a flexible approach to help new children settle in to the pre-school.
  • Children behave well.
