Preschool
Improvement Plan

As part of our commitment to our children and families, we are always looking to improve our preschool. A School Improvement Plan helps us achieve this. To help us identify which areas to focus on, the following pointers are used:

  • Areas of improvement identified from external reports e.g. Ofsted

  • Our own annual staff self evaluation

  • Areas arising from family questionnaires, given out at the end of the school year 

  • The children’s own evaluation of their preschool

Our Preschool Improvement Plan is a working document and so is liable to change! If you have any questions, please feel free to speak to one of us.
