Tower Pre-School Chair’s Report 2023 April 2023 Tower Pre-School had an Ofsted inspection in January 2023. We are pleased to say we received an overall grade of Good. Putting aside their nervousness the staff professionally demonstrated their knowledge of the children and many other important aspects of their work for TPS. The inspector said of TPS: ‘Children enjoy their time at this welcoming and friendly pre-school. They confidently separate from their parents on arrival and quickly settle into activities. Staff build secure, trusting relationships with parents and children’ And: ‘Staff create safe spaces and activities, which help children feel more secure. This results in children feeling safe and happy. Staff have high expectations for all children.’ Tower Pre-School has inducted a new staff member, Tai. She has settled in well with the staff, children and routine and enjoys leading craft activities and has a keen interest in furthering her knowledge, especially in special educational needs. The staff and children have begun to venture out for local visits to the library, train station and local park. They have enjoyed a visit from a mum talking about their culture, customs and celebrations around Dussehra; they are also looking forward to a visit from Tai’s therapy dog, Teddy. The children also enjoy the weekly visits from our volunteers who play and support activities with them, which makes a difference to their day. We would always appreciate additional volunteers. We are always grateful to Orpington Baptist Church for their support of TPS and are pleased to say this has been another positive and encouraging year for our pre-school.
