Ofsted Inspection Summary
Woodlands (Cio) was inspected by Ofsted on 13 January 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children enter the pre-school with a skip and a jump as they are warmly welcomed by the fun-loving staff, with whom they build strong attachments. Children immediately feel safe and relaxed when staff embrace their energy and enthusiasm and join in their jumping games. Staff provide high-quality resources and plan stimulating activities, both indoors and outdoors, that are easily accessible and support children to make choices in their play."
Key strengths
- Staff gather in-depth information from parents when children first start to support them effectively and help ensure they settle smoothly.
- Parents applaud the excellent daily communication they receive from their children's key persons.
- Staff interact purposefully, modelling play well and asking effective questions to build on what children already know.
- When children appear upset, their key persons quickly notice and offer to read to them in the cosy area.
- Staff provide encouragement, clear instructions and the right level of help so children become increasingly independent in managing their personal needs.
Areas for improvement
- help children to understand how to take more care of their environment and resources, particularly around times of transition.
