Ofsted Inspection Summary

Stepping Stones Pre-School was inspected by Ofsted on 29 September 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children move freely between the indoors and the garden throughout the pre- school session. This helps to give them the confidence to choose where they wish to play and to follow their own interests. Children explore outside and excitedly tell an adult that they have found an item on a checklist."

Key strengths

  • The manager and staff are able to clearly explain the purpose of the activities they provide and how they support all children to make progress.
  • Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a sharp focus on building children's communication skills.
  • Children have a clear understanding of the pre-school rules.
  • Staff act as positive role models.
  • Parents are extremely happy with the provision.

Areas for improvement

  • strengthen the key-person system to ensure that each child has a consistent assigned key person to support their emotional needs and build a relationship with
  • develop partnerships with other settings that children attend, to promote continuity in their learning and development.
