Ofsted Inspection Summary

The Hendreds Preschool was inspected by Ofsted on 19 May 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children arrive at the pre-school full of enthusiasm. The staff team fosters a friendly, stimulating atmosphere that encourages children to form strong relationships with all staff. Children freely explore a wide variety of engaging activities that support their overall development."

Key strengths

  • The curriculum is carefully designed around children's interests and developmental needs.
  • While the curriculum is thoughtfully planned, during adult-led activities, staff do not always engage all children equally.
  • Mealtimes are well structured, with staff and children sharing healthy snacks together.
  • Children learn about a range of religious and cultural celebrations, such as Chinese New Year and Easter, through hands-on craft activities.
  • Strong and trusting relationships are built with parents from the outset.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff further to more effectively deliver adult-led activities to engage all children who are taking part
  • enhance the opportunities for children to learn about similarities and differences between communities and cultures.
