OFSTED has praised a Church Langley preschool following a recent inspection.

The school is based in the grounds of Church Langley Primary School.

The school was inspected in February 2023.

The report states:

Children develop strong, nurturing relationships with staff at this warm and welcoming pre-school. They show personality and confidence. Children choose from a large range of stimulating and exciting resources and show high levels of enjoyment and curiosity. For example, children play with water and fill containers as they make potions. They find a piece of a leaf submerged in a bottle and say, ‘I wonder what it is?’ Children benefit from lots of praise and encouragement from staff, this empowers children and builds their confidence and self-esteem. Staff have high expectations for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Staff promote children’s physical health. Children enjoy playing outside in the fresh air. They have access to a range of equipment and activities that help them to move their bodies and build their muscles. For example, children jump in and out of tyres and climb on the apparatus, jumping off at the end of the run. Children immerse themselves in their play and sustain their interest in activities for long periods of time. For example, they concentrate as they write their names on blackboards and practise early writing skills and letter formation. They mix different colours of chalks on the concrete and discuss the effects.
