Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Diverse Books and Toys: Children develop a love of books and enjoy listening to stories. Toddlers eagerly go and fetch their favourite books which they give to staff.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Older children take staff on a garden bug hunt to look for spiders and slugs. Children respond confidently to staff's questions and show concern when they decide a slug looks 'poorly'
Activities: They have a positive attitude to learning and, overall, enjoy the good range of activities staff provide. Babies explore paint with their hands, watching as it drips off their fingers onto the paper. Older children take staff on a garden bug hunt to look for spiders and slugs.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children respond confidently to staff's questions and show concern when they decide a slug looks 'poorly'. They find it a leaf which is carefully placed close by for the slug to eat.
Communication: Despite this, parents are very complimentary about the partnerships with staff. Daily updates between parents and staff help to share children's achievements and their changing care and learning needs.
Community Building: They comment that they are looking forward to being able to drop off their children in their nursery rooms in the near future.
Programs and Resources: Staff understand how to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and when to seek guidance from professionals outside of the nursery.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: All children have good relationships with their key person and other staff.
Safeguarding Training: They complete regular child protection training to keep themselves aware of current guidance, such as what to do should they suspect a child, their siblings or parents are at risk of radicalisation.
Play and Learning Integration: Toddlers find endless fascination in water play. They use containers to pour water into small bottles before emptying them and starting over. Staff are close by to offer support.
Transition to Primary School: The manager has a good oversight of the progress different groups of children make. This helps to identify any emerging gaps in their learning.
Child Safety Management: At mealtimes, children recognise what foods their friends can or cannot eat from the different coloured plates and cups.
Children's Safety and Security: Children are happy, confident and settle quickly. This is partly due to the staff's focus on promoting children's personal, social and emotional development.
Happiness and Settling: Babies and toddlers enjoy reassuring cuddles from staff as they wake up from their naps. Pre-school children enthusiastically share their thoughts and ideas with staff.
