Ofsted

"Good"

​

Here at Tadpoles Community pre-school we are an Ofsted graded ‘Good’ pre-school. Our latest inspection was in September 2025, below are some of the things that Ofsted have to say about us…

​

“I wish I was a child again so I could attend your preschool"

 

“You have the building blocks in place to be OUTSTANDING”

​

“Children with SEND are very well supported. Staff identify additional needs promptly and implement advice from external professionals effectively. They adapt the curriculum and learning environment to ensure that all children with SEND can access learning confidently alongside their peers. This inclusive practice ensures that every child feels valued and involved in all aspects of nursery life. Leaders use additional funding meaningfully to further enhance the provision.”

​

"Staff implement a sensitive settling-in process tailored to meet children's individual needs. They undertake home visits in order to get to know the children, their routines and their families well from the outset. This helps children to feel safe and secure during the transition process. Children's behaviour is very good."
