Box Pre-school Playgroup is celebrating after receiving a highly sought after Outstanding grade from Ofsted.
The Ofsted report described the nursery as a place where ‘children flourish in this warm and welcoming pre-school… the children enjoy meaningful interactions with staff, which stimulate their learning and build on what they already know.’
The report also recognised that ‘the children take walks in the local community and learn about the rich heritage of the village. They learn about the Bath Stone Quarry, Brunel’s Box Hill Tunnels and the rock circus. Children visit the woods where they find out about the local wildlife cycles, the ecological systems and the changing seasons. They learn about road safety and how to stay safe outdoors.’
Yvonne, the playgroup supervisor who has managed the playgroup for 12 years, was delighted with the report, commenting, “I am so proud of my team as I know each one goes above and beyond to provide high quality care and education. But as pleased as we are right now, we don’t plan to respond on our laurels and we will continue to improve and work with our children and their parents to provide the best outcomes we can.”
