The pre-school, open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 3 pm, term time only, also provides a breakfast club starting at 8:30 am and an extended afternoon session until 5 pm. Currently, the pre-school has 49 children on roll and is registered for up to 30 places, caring for children aged 2 to 4 years old. The experienced team includes 11 staff members, with eight holding early years qualifications from level 2 to level 6. Although the overall effectiveness of the provision was rated "Requires improvement" at its latest inspection on June 4, 2025, the previous inspection result was "Outstanding". The setting demonstrates some good practice, for example children appear happy and settled and make lovely friendships. Staff also support children to express their needs and praise positive behaviour. However, the report highlights inconsistencies in the quality of teaching and curriculum implementation, affecting children's personal development and learning engagement, leading to a focus on improving communication and curriculum delivery. The pre-school receives funding for free early education for children aged two, three, and four years. What it's like Children appear happy and settled, making lovely friendships and forming good relationships with staff who help them understand daily routines. They demonstrate positive behaviour and respond well to staff who sensitively intervene to support their feelings and emotions.
