Ofsted Success!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our big news, which we had had to keep quiet until official publication, is our very successful Ofsted inspection! The Preschool was inspected by Ofsted in late February and rated as Good. In their breakdown, Ofsted rated Preschool as Good for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management, and Outstanding for personal development! Here are some of Preschool\u2019s strengths highlighted in the report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChildren demonstrate incredibly high levels of independence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChildren and staff engage exceptionally well with their local community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChildren enjoy a rich set of experiences, which enhance their understanding and respect of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

their environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChildren behave well in the pre-school. Staff make good use of regular group sessions to support children’s understanding of appropriate behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChildren’s transitions are incredibly well supported. Staff engage exceptionally well with children’s previous settings\u2026 [and]\u2026 the local primary school. They work together to create unique transition plans to meet the specific needs of individual children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelationships between staff and parents are exceptionally strong. Staff engage well with families to gather detailed knowledge about children’s early experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParents are incredibly complimentary about staff and the exceptional support they provide for the whole family. They acknowledge the immensely positive impact this has on children’s well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Are Still Looking For:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Cleaner<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Committee Members<\/em><\/strong>\u2014this role does not need to take up very much time, nor do you need to be related to, or the guardian of, a Preschool child. If you\u2019re new to the village, it\u2019s a great way to meet people and become involved in the community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For details on either of these roles, email buckdenpreschoolcommittee@gmail.com<\/a>. Our Acting Chair, Helen, or our Treasurer, Debby, will get back to you with more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
