We were most recently inspected in March 2024 and we were delighted to be awarded an Outstanding rating. In describing our provision, the report highlights our highly welcoming and inclusive nature. It emphasises how children are exceedingly happy and settled, forming warm and caring relationships with staff and peers. It describes how not only are the children secure and confident, but also eager learners who make rapid progress across all areas of learning.
Our staff’s dedication to understanding each child’s unique needs and interests is recognised, with high praise for their ability to adapt teaching and foster a love for learning. The report also commends our rich variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors, which promote exploration and discovery, as well as our focus on speech and language development, respect, and inclusion.
Finally, the report also acknowledges the exceptional partnerships we have with our parents. Parental feedback has been instrumental in shaping our preschool, and we are immensely grateful for the ongoing support and trust shown by our families.

What parents say
Duxford Preschool has been the ideal place for my son’s preschool years. It all feels like playtime to him, which is exactly the approach I wanted.
Behind the scenes it is obvious that a great deal of thought and imagination goes into planning the varied activities on offer. The staff are energetic, attentive and lots of fun, and they have a very good understanding of each child.
