A PLAY-GROUP in Bush Fair has been praised by Ofsted.

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell Pre-School is based at the Tye Green Community Centre.

They were inspected in March, 2018.

The report stated:

Staff know children well. They talk confidently about where children are in their learning and development and what they need to do to support their continuing progress. All children make good progress.

Transitions from home to pre-school are managed well to enable children to settle easily. Home visits are arranged so that staff can see the children in familiar surroundings. Settling-in procedures are tailored to the individual needs of each child.

Staff are caring and kind, and form good relationships with children. Children are happy and settled. They are confident to explore the activities and environment.

Strong focus is placed on nurturing the positive partnerships with parents. Staff provide ongoing opportunities for exchanging information with parents about children’s learning.

Staff provide good support for children who speak English as an additional language and children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities. They work effectively with other professionals, such as speech and language therapists to support children’s individual communication needs.
