Inspection #10294092 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50244652) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > Parents say that their children are happy to attend the pre-school and have made good progress in their learning. > Parents of children who have recently joined the pre-school speak highly of the settling-in process and how this is adapted to meet children's needs. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff provide good support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The knowledgeable special educational needs coordinator works closely with parents and external agencies to ensure that children get the support they need. She works with staff and other professionals to put strategies in place to help children make progress and have a positive experience at the pre-school. Outdoor space When children get ready for forest school, some children wander and play with other items instead of locating their wellington boots and puddle suits. This indicates that staff do not always use effective strategies to redirect children so that they engage purposefully with learning or help them to successfully get themselves ready for the next activity.
