Symone Pearce, Ide Hill Pre School’s setting’s SIP (Setting Improvement Partner) carried out an ITERS (Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale) Assessment of our 2 ½ year old provision. This Audit allows early years settings to reflect upon the provision they provide for children, such as:

• care routines
• equipment
• interaction
• staff
• parents

… to name a few.

Each area is assessed and scored to the ITERS Scale.

As a district the average rating is 3.9; we are proud to inform you that the pre-school scored 6.1, out of a possible 7 which is one of the highest scoring provisions in Kent. Symone also praised the staff; the care and practice they provide for the children.

Well done everyone.
