Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children have free-flow access to the outside space at all times. They enjoy climbing on the large play equipment and using footballs and wheeled vehicles. These activities support children's large-muscle skills well. However, the garden is mainly focused on entertainment and does not link firmly enough to the curriculum and what staff want children to learn.
Activities: Children engage in enjoyable activities at this warm and welcoming nursery. They have good opportunities to explore, experiment and use their senses as they play and learn. For instance, children are eager to join in and carve a pumpkin. Older children are supported well by staff to use the cutters to make shapes in the pumpkin. Younger children scoop out the inside and talk about how it smells and feels.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children are well prepared for the next steps in their learning. They show good perseverance in activities, are independent in their self-care and can sit and listen well in a group. Good behaviour is well supported by staff. Strategies, such as good explanations in a kind gentle voice, help younger children to take turns with resources. Children receive meaningful praise for their achievements, which helps to continually foster their self-esteem.
Communication: Staff get to know families well and build strong lasting bonds with parents. The manager and staff work closely with parents to ensure that children are emotionally secure and settled. Parents report that staff are kind and considerate. They describe the pre-school as a 'family'.
Programs and Resources: The manager and staff team deliver a thoughtful, targeted curriculum to all children, including those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Children are generally engaged and excited to learn.

From the Parkview Lodge Preschool
The committee-run Parkview Lodge Pre-school relocated to its current site in 1998.
The lodge was once a vacant structure with the potential to become an important asset for our neighbourhood.
Parkview Lodge Pre-school received a national lottery grant that made it possible for the structure to be entirely renovated and take on its present appearance.
For around 38 weeks out of the year, the pre-school provides full- or part-time care for kids between the ages of 2 and 5.
The Parkview Lodge Preschool has an open door policy, so you are free to come and see us.
The majority of the personnel has been with the preschool for a long time.
The youngsters are worked with by the trained and experienced personnel in small groups or one-on-one.
To help the kids learn and discover new things while they play, they offer a range of carefully organised activities every day.
We adhere to the EYFS (The Early years Foundation Stage).
Every term, the preschool releases a newsletter for parents and caregivers.
This is a vital channel of communication between the staff, committee, and parents and is packed with information about what is happening at the preschool.
