Ofsted Inspection Summary

St Michael'S Pre-School was inspected by Ofsted on 8 December 2021 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children all settle very well and show that they feel happy and secure in the inviting pre-school. They explore a broad range of activities that covers all areas of learning, and they access much of the provision independently. Staff support children closely to help them to make good progress and to build on what they already know and can do."

Key strengths

  • Children's communication skills are particularly will catered for, including for those children who speak English as an additional language.
  • Staff understand their roles and responsibilities and benefit from a wide range of training that helps them to do their job well.
  • Parents are enthusiastic about the care and education their children receive.
  • Managers promote a positive culture of reflective practice.
  • Staff take children's home lives and prior experiences into account when setting out things they need to learn next.

Areas for improvement

  • help staff to be clear about the intent of all activities, especially small-group activities, to shape these more to the needs of the individual children…
  • consider the organisation of transition times between one activity and the next, to help meet the needs of the diverse age range of children present.
