Ofsted Inspection Summary

The Butterfly Patch, Lower Morden was inspected by Ofsted on 6 February 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children arrive eager to start their day. All ages of children thoroughly enjoy forest school sessions. Staff have recently adapted their 'spare eye' policy for forest school outings."

Key strengths

  • Leaders support staff's well-being well.
  • During forest school activities, some quieter children miss out on staff's interactions, as the more confident children take staff's attention.
  • All staff teach children the importance of not picking the plants and berries.
  • During some forest school sessions, staff do not always extend the activities beyond the actual learning intentions.
  • All staff are consistent in their approach to behaviour management.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff to identify the quieter children during large-group activities and to engage them further in activities
  • work with staff when on forest school activities to support areas of learning outside of learning intentions to help extend creative development.
