Mudeford Wood Playgroup Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 August 2024
2023 to 2024 was another successful year for the preschool with the setting currently full with a waiting list for spaces.
At the end of the 2024 school year, we had our statuary Ofsted inspection which rated us as ‘Good’ in all areas. The inspector praised the preschool in a number of areas: ‘Warm and welcoming staff greet children and families on arrival’, ‘Staff support children's behaviour with positive praise and encouragement’ and ‘Children’s behaviour is good’.
We were all incredibly proud to have received such a good Ofsted report in these challenging times and it is a credit to Emily, our Manager, and the staff team for their tireless dedication and hard work that we achieved this.
This inspection rounded off what had been a great year for the preschool and the local families who use the setting, despite the ongoing challenges with the venue and the risk of constant eviction from the trustees of the community centre, we continued to provide exemplary dedicated childcare and provided a warm and staff environment where children could thrive.
Trustees report was prepared as at 31st August 2024.
