About this early years setting

Rudloe Pre School in Corsham offers term-time care for children aged from two to four years. It is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 8.55am to 2.55pm, and accepts government funding for eligible two, three, and four-year-olds. At its inspection in January 2022, Ofsted judged the pre-school to be Good. The inspector reported that children feel safe and secure and separate from their parents with confidence.

Staff have high expectations and know the children's individual learning needs and interests. Older children recognise letter sounds and numbers, and the setting supports children who speak English as an additional language by monitoring their progress. Children are keen to play outside in the fresh air, where they use equipment including tricycles, a climbing wall, and beams to develop their physical skills. Ofsted also highlighted the very positive partnerships between staff and parents.
