Leader’s Report for 2024
Ofsted visited in January 2023. We are pleased to say we received an overall grade of Good. Putting aside all their nerves the staff were professional and demonstrated their knowledge of the children and many other important aspects of their jobs. The inspector said of the pre-school: ‘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’ Since the last AGM TPS has inducted a new staff member, Tai. She has settled in with the staff, children and routine well and enjoys leading craft activities and has a keen interest in furthering her knowledge, especially in special educational needs.
The staff 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 and 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 in their day. We would always appreciate having more volunteers, especially on Tuesdays, both to work with the children and to do snack.
This has been another encouraging year for us at Tower Pre-School and we do thank all those who contribute to these encouragements.
Tower Pre-School closed in July 2024.
