Weldon Pre-School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is outstanding Staff are exceptionally well supported by the committee. Since the last inspection, staff have continued to make significant changes to the way they work with the children, how they plan and their organisation of the available space. This results in children being consistently highly motivated and interested in their activities.

Children flourish in the pre-school. They respond most positively to the very strong teaching skills that all staff display. This results in a lively, busy and productive atmosphere where children are fully involved in the planning of the activities.

Parents make highly positive and complimentary comments about their... children's experience at the pre-school. Parents praise staff for their dedication and commitment to their children. They feel involved in their children's learning and comment on the swift progress they are making with the excellent support from the staff.

Children's safety is given very high priority. Children are encouraged to move freely between the excellent range of indoor and outdoor activities throughout the session. Staff manage this extremely well, monitoring how many children are in each area.

Children are excited and eager to join in with the abundance of activities and play materials that are available to them. Staff respond to their suggestions whenever they can. For example, when children comment that it is windy and they want to fly a kite, staff provide them with materials for them to make kites they then test outside.
