Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children have opportunities to develop their gross motor physical skills, indoors and outdoors. They engage in large, high-impact physical movement, led by a sports coach.
Activities: Staff therefore plan activities which capture all children's interest and imagination.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff know what their key children need to learn next and help children to build on what they can already do.
Communication: Partnership with parents is highly valued. The setting shares children's care routines and learning on an online app which parents view from home.
Staff Training: Leaders do seek support from professionals when needed.
Programs and Resources: Leaders identified communication and language as an area of need for children. This is due to COVID-19 and children being at home indoors. However, there is no individualised support for children with delay in communication and language.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Parents speak very positively about the nursery. They describe the friendliness, support and care of the staff team.
Safeguarding Training: The staff team receives regular safeguarding training and updates from their leaders.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff provided play dough to support children's fine motor skills. Younger children have opportunities to use utensils to mix edible messy play.
Transition to Primary School: Children benefit from the knowledge of well-skilled teachers.
Diversity Management: This includes children with English as an additional language, special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Child Safety Management: Staff ratios are always maintained. Staff deployment is effective and children are well supervised to keep them safe.
Children's Safety and Security: Staff understand their responsibilities to keep children safe. They can identify the signs and symptoms which may show that a child is at risk of harm.
Happiness and Settling: Children are well settled and are happy to separate from their parents on arrival. Staff form strong attachments with children.
Nutritional Menu: Children enjoy healthy nutritious meals prepared on site. These meals are reflective of children's cultural backgrounds.
