The pre-school received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on July 9, 2021, reflecting its commitment to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment for children aged two to four. With 41 children on roll and a capacity for 30, the setting prides itself on its dedicated team of eight staff members, all holding appropriate early years qualifications between level 3 and level 6.
Children at St Clare's thoroughly enjoy their time, forming strong bonds with staff and peers, and engaging eagerly in a wide range of stimulating activities. The pre-school places a strong emphasis on fostering language development, confidence, and self-esteem, with managers and staff working closely with speech and language therapists to provide excellent support for children with speech delays.
This inclusive approach ensures all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those receiving additional funding, make good progress in their learning.

Inclusion & environment
Managers and staff provide a fully inclusive setting and welcome children of all abilities and backgrounds. They offer strong support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who receive additional funding. When needed, staff access support from local inclusion services quickly and follow the guidance of outside professionals closely.
