Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents report that their children enjoy attending the pre-school and that staff are kind, caring and approachable.
Inclusion & environment
Staff identify any gaps in children's development, and the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) provides targeted interventions to help them catch up. The manager and SENCo work together to use any extra funding to nurture the interests of children with additional needs and help them to reach the next steps in their development, such as purchasing appropriate resources.
Children enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise to help keep them fit and healthy. Staff support children to develop their physical skills, for example, by teaching them how to use the pedals on tricycles. Children join in with excitement as staff pretend to be flying saucers in the garden and sing songs about spacemen.
My daughter joined Catapillars just under a year ago and has loved it since day one. The staff go above and beyond, we will definitely be sending our youngest their too!
