Since taking up your role in September 2016, you have successfully maintained the good quality of education for the children who attend St Christopher’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Unit. You have an accurate understanding of the effectiveness of the EYFS unit and have rigorously tackled the areas that were identified as needing improvement at the time of the previous inspection. You continue to build effectively on the strengths of the EYFS unit. This is despite unavoidable staff changes and your commitment to the planning of, and imminent move to, a new purpose-built provision for 0 to 5 year olds. This small EYFS unit has a very big heart which is appreciated by the families it serves. Parents who responded to the online inspection questionnaire highlighted the way in which you ‘deal with a transient population extremely well’ and provide ‘a warm, welcoming and stable environment’. The vast majority of parents confirm that they ‘would have no hesitation recommending the unit to anyone posted in the future’. As one parent explained: ‘It’s a little family.’ You and your early years practitioners are knowledgeable and skilled in developing young children’s learning. There is a clear understanding that, in order for them to learn, they need to feel safe and secure. You achieve this with aplomb. Pivotal to this is the way that you make sure you know your children and their families well. This enables you to tailor provision to meet their specific needs.
