Ofsted Rating: GOOD
Chieveley Pre-School was inspected by OFSTED in February 2024. We're very proud to have been rated GOOD. Below are some comments made by OFSTED from our report.
​​
​All children make good progress.
They are provided with an ambitious curriculum and a welcoming, calm learning environment.
Children eagerly take part in a wide range of activities, indoors and outdoors. For example, they thoroughly enjoy making bird feeders, which they hang in the trees in the pre-school garden.
They enjoy colouring in pictures of birds and learn that owls can be seen at night.
Staff form close emotional relationships with children.
At the start of each session, they greet families individually and make sure that children feel happy and safe. Children quickly settle, feel secure and form friendships.
Children develop good physical skills. For example, they learn to balance as they walk and jump across low-level tree trunks.
Children develop good hand-to-eye coordination, such as when they use foam bricks to build walls inside a playhouse and move sand around using play diggers.
Staff have clear expectations for children's behaviour. They successfully gain children's cooperation and help them to understand and manage their feelings and emotions.
