New Studio Annual Report 2024/2025
2024-2025 has been a wonderful year for New Studio – We had our Ofsted Inspection and received a Grading of Good
The Inspector said that our Children are happy in Our nurturing and inclusive environment. She also commented on how the staff are good role models and the children are well prepared for transitions to school and that children with SEND have personalised support to ensure their needs are met and they make good progress.
Our Forest School provision continues to be a great success, and the children benefit from a learner inspired and hands on experience in a natural environment, children grow in confidence as they problem solve and manage risks which supports their emotional and social needs and provides them with a sense of well-being.
The children are also continuing to grow fruit and vegetables in our allotment, and we use them for snack or cooking, this gives children a sense of achievement watching them grow alongside the knowledge of how food grows.
Children, staff and parents went on a visit to the theatre to see a production of Father Christmas by Raymond Briggs and we had an entertainer at Our Christmas Party.
We celebrated many festivals including Diwali, Eid, Chinese New Year, St Patricks, St Davids and St Georges day, Remembrance & VE Day.
We also held A Mothers / Grannies Coffee Morning plus A Fathers /Grandads Breakfast.
We had an amazing Summer Fair with past present and future children and their families attending.
Feedback from leaving parents is always positive and they all say that their time at New Studio has given their child the best possible start and are school and life ready when they leave us.
We are grateful to our landlords Notting Hill Methodist Church for their continued support and maintenance of our building and garden.
We are very much part of the local community and have good links with the local schools.
New Studio Preschool has families returning with siblings and now have the children of parents who attended New Studio themselves and returning to be part of ‘The New Studio Family ‘
We look forward to seeing what this next year brings.
