Ormesby Village Pre-School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager, office manager and committee have worked hard to address the actions raised at the last inspection. They have organised systems in place which underpin the good leadership and management of the pre-school.

• Staff are encouraged to undertake training and study for further qualifications. As part of their studies, they work hard to make ongoing improvements to the pre-school. For instance, they take on projects, such as improving the outdoor play areas, to give children a range of opportunities to develop physical skills and learn about the natural world.

• Older children have lots of opportunities to visit the adjoining school to pre...pare them for joining the Reception class, when the time comes. • Staff plan a range of activities for children to play and learn through. For instance, when children show a interest in firefighters, staff recognise this and plan lots of opportunities for children to extend their interest.

• Children show strong bonds with their key person. Younger children regularly seek out their key person for a cuddle and reassurance, when needed. • Children make good progress.

Staff work in partnership with other professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. • At times, the questions staff ask children are not fully effective to enhance children's communication and encourage them to express their views. • On occasions, some routines for the youngest children are not highly effective at promoting children's developing concentration and ongoing engagement in learning.
