Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Staff have worked hard to create a stimulating and very well-resourced environment, indoors and out.
Activities: Children take an active part in cooking the nursery meals each day. Babies blend bread mix and water to make rolls. Older children very confidently chop vegetables.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff recognise the importance of these small steps in children's journey to mastering more complex skills. They plan experiences that allow children to learn new skills, practising them regularly until they are fully confident.
Communication: Staff now provide more focused feedback about children's progress to enable parents to support learning at home.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Apprentices who are completing qualifications receive the help they need to complete the requirements of their course.
Safeguarding Training: The designated safeguarding lead and all staff have a robust knowledge of their safeguarding responsibilities. They attend relevant training, and the manager uses a range of strategies, including quizzes, to check that their knowledge remains up to date.
Play and Learning Integration: Older children instigate complex games and use the knowledge they have gained over time to enrich their play. They take on different characters in their role play and work together to build and solve problems.
Child Safety Management: Since the last inspection, there have been a number of effective changes within the learning environment to improve safety arrangements. In addition, staff are vigilant in their supervision of children who are using the new, more challenging equipment to test their physical capabilities.
Happiness and Settling: Children are happy at the nursery and become extremely independent learners.
Nutritional Menu: Children take an active part in cooking the nursery meals each day. Babies blend bread mix and water to make rolls. Older children very confidently chop vegetables.
