Ofsted Inspection Summary

Thorverton Pre-School was inspected by Ofsted on 11 March 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children confidently say goodbye to their parents and come into the pre-school, settling quickly with the familiar and caring staff. Children soon become engrossed in activities, such as listening to a story or looking for flowers and bugs in the forest school area. Staff plan ambitious and engaging opportunities for children, which supports the development of all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)."

Key strengths

  • Staff teach children about the environment around them, and children are keen to share their new knowledge with others.
  • Staff know children and their individual needs well.
  • Children are starting to show some independence, for example in washing their hands.
  • At times, the deployment of staff during mealtimes means that staff are not able to support children as well as they could.
  • Staff support children to take appropriate risks and learn how to keep themselves safe.

Areas for improvement

  • provide more opportunities for children to do things for themselves, to improve their readiness to move on to school
  • deploy staff more effectively so that they can support all children to engage and maintain focus at mealtimes.
