OFSTED

In October 2024, The Hendreds Preschool underwent an Ofsted inspection and received a "Requires Improvement" rating. This assessment highlighted areas needing attention, particularly in leadership and management, while also recognising strengths in the quality of education and behaviour and attitudes.

Key Findings from the Ofsted Report:

Quality of Education: Rated as 'Good,' indicating effective teaching and a supportive learning environment for children.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Also rated as 'Good,' reflecting positive interactions and a welcoming atmosphere.
Leadership and Management: Identified as an area for improvement, particularly concerning the understanding of roles and responsibilities within the preschool's committee.

Since the inspection, we have implemented several measures to address the areas highlighted:

Committee Training: Ensured all committee members are fully aware of their roles and have provided the necessary information to Ofsted for suitability checks.
Staff Development: Conducted training sessions focusing on personal development strategies to better support each child's growth.
Enhanced Curriculum: Introduced activities that promote independence and challenge, aligning with our ethos and fostering personal development

We are committed to continuous improvement and are confident that these steps will lead to a more enriching experience for all children at The Hendreds Preschool.
