Hopscotch Peacehaven are OUTSTANDING!

Posted on 20th October 2016 by Caroline Oliver

We are extremely proud to announce that Hopscotch Peacehaven have been awarded Outstanding by Ofsted after their inspection on 4th October 2016.

The key findings for parents are:

• The quality of teaching is exemplary. Staff skilfully build on children’s own ideas in play
  and consistently encourage them to think and solve problems. Children delight in
  working things out for themselves and develop extremely positive attitudes to learning.
  All children make excellent progress in their learning from their starting points.
• The manager is a truly exceptional leader. Her enthusiasm and continuous ambition for
  improvement are reflected in all aspects of the setting. She leads an enthusiastic team
  that is completely committed to achieving the highest quality of practice.
• Staff are exceptionally caring and attentive to all children’s needs. Children are
  extremely happy and secure. Staff act as excellent role models and children behave
  exceptionally well. All staff use exemplary methods to encourage children to listen to
  and respect each other such as independently using sand timers to manage time fairly.
• Staff provide parents with extensive support. For example, they continuously share
  children’s next steps in learning and suggest exciting activities to help them further
  support learning at home. Parents are extremely complimentary about the setting and
  comment on how completely involved they are in their children’s learning.
• The manager and staff work together to monitor children’s development extremely
  closely. They ensure that all children make consistently high rates of progress, and any
  gaps in learning are acted on immediately. This fully supports all groups of children.
