A preschool on the Isle of Wight has been elevated from an ‘Inadequate’ rating to a ‘Good’ rating by Ofsted.
Little Love Lane Nursery Pre-School in Cowes had been given an ‘Inadequate’ rating in its previous inspection in July 2017. However, today (Tuesday) Ofsted have published their latest report, which finds the pre-school rated as ‘Good’ in all areas.
Highlights from the report include:
- The management and staff have worked closely with outside agencies to address the weaknesses found at the last inspection. The action taken has effectively improved the quality of the provision.
- Key persons form very close and trusting attachments with younger children. They meet their care routines and needs consistently well and in accordance with parents’ wishes.
- Children make good progress in their learning. Staff know the children well and tailor the weekly planning of activities to their individual learning and developmental needs.
- Staff provide a welcoming, inviting environment for children. Pre-school children are confident, motivated to learn, and demonstrate good levels of independence.
- Children enjoy a good range of exciting, challenging and interesting learning experiences, indoors and outdoors. For example, they show good control as they practise balancing on the stepping blocks.
- Partnerships with parents are good. Staff continually share information and actively involve parents in their children’s learning, which helps provide continuity for children.
