Ofsted Inspection Summary

The Orchard Montessori Pre-School And Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 10 December 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are happy and thrive in this inclusive, well-resourced Montessori pre- school and nursery. Staff communicate effectively with parents to support consistent learning at home and ensure children's interests and care needs are met. Babies hold out their arms to initiate a hug with their familiar key person at the door."

Key strengths

  • Children benefit from sequenced learning, where staff plan activities and experiences that build on what children already know and can do.
  • Daily routines are generally well organised.
  • Children are well behaved and learn how to play cooperatively.
  • Children develop an understanding of mathematical concepts through fun and interactive experiences.
  • Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are identified swiftly and appropriate and sensitive support is continually provided.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff to consistently manage times of transition between activities more effectively to ensure all children remain engaged in their learning
  • review and improve the organisation of mealtimes, so that the needs of all children are considered, and the length of time children spend waiting is reduced.
