Our Ofsted Inspection

A Positive Inspection and a Proud History

We are proud of the positive feedback received during our Ofsted inspection in March 2023, when our preschool received a GOOD judgement.

The inspector's report recognised the happiness, confidence and enthusiasm of our children, the supportive relationships they enjoy with staff, and the way we help them develop their skills and take pride in their achievements.

The report included some lovely observations of everyday life at our preschool:

Children arrive at the pre-school happy and ready to enter. They show their parents and carers where their belongings go and eagerly walk into the hall and wave goodbye. Children remain confident throughout the session and are keen to show off their skills.

Children are happy. They smile frequently and have fun. Children engage for prolonged lengths of time. Children stand at a table set up with paint and brushes and work together to mix different colours. Two children giggle as they hold a brush together and make marks on paper.

Children are supported to develop pride in what they achieve. Staff use 'wow' moments to talk about what children have done well or when they have met their targets. At the end of the day, children share their 'wow' moments with their parents.

These comments reflect the warm, nurturing environment we strive to provide, where children feel safe, build confidence, develop friendships and enjoy learning through play.

Our Ofsted Registration

Following our transition to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), Woodborough Village Preschool now operates under a new Ofsted registration number: 2910068.

Our March 2023 inspection took place under our former registration, Woodborough Village Pre-School (URN 253232). The report remains an important part of our history, documenting the quality of care and education provided by our preschool.

While our legal structure has changed, our commitment to providing a happy, inclusive and supportive environment for every child remains unchanged.
