Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children explore the environments with curiosity. Outside, children create large bubbles with wands. They explain how the dish contains soap 'which makes the bubbles so big'. Inside, children clean 'babies' with soap and rinse them off in the baby bath.
Activities: Staff use their comprehensive understanding of their key children to plan interesting and exciting activities that support and extend children's learning. For example, children dig in the sand and search for shells and pebbles following a recent trip to the beach.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children make good progress in their learning and development. Staff capture starting points when children join. They use observation and assessment effectively to identify what children know and can do and plan appropriate next steps for children's learning.
Communication: Parents speak highly of staff. They commend the excellent communication and range of experiences children have.
Community Building: Parents appreciate the number of outings children attend and how safe and happy their children are. They feel that their children are making good progress and have made many friends.
Programs and Resources: Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress in their learning. Staff provide targeted and well-considered support through individual support plans.
Staff Training: Parents are involved in conversations about next steps and the progress children are making.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children arrive happily at this setting and are greeted warmly by staff.
Safeguarding Training: Staff have a secure understanding of their roles and responsibilities in keeping children safe. They demonstrate good knowledge of the indicators of abuse and how children's behaviour may change.
Play and Learning Integration: Children confidently lead their play. They engage and interact with peers, showing kindness and respect as they collaborate on ideas.
Diversity Management: Children are beginning to notice the similarities and differences between themselves and others. As a result, children are developing confidence and self-esteem.
Child Safety Management: Leaders have developed a strong safeguarding culture. For example, all staff know how to respond to concerns, including those about a staff member. All staff are confident in how to whistle-blow.
Children's Safety and Security: They are aware of potential indicators, such as neglect, and when early help might be needed.
Teaching Personal Safety: Staff support children's communication and language very well. For example, they ask children to describe the smell, and they comment that it smells 'washy'.

From the Avenue Playgroup
to witness the transformation of lives both inside and outside of Avenue through the work of the Gospel and the power of the Spirit. God's ideals in our life will then spread outside of the church and into our neighbourhoods, towns, cities, and the entire globe as a result. In order to give additional chances for our local community as we reach out to them, we would love to see the new building's facilities put to further good use while we continue to celebrate our variety. In order to best support the growth of youth work over the next years, we would like to strengthen the work that is already being done with families and children. As we study and worship Jesus, we hope to deepen our connection with Him and enable that relationship to influence everything we do. We are receptive to new suggestions that aim to push and inspire us to serve Him so that we can witness the expansion of His kingdom in Southend.
