Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children spend a lot of time outdoors. They have many opportunities to enhance their physical well-being. They have great fun with their friends, building dens with natural materials.
Activities: Children run up the grassy mound and climb apparatus. They learn about the planting and growing process and use words such as 'small' and 'tall' to show their mathematical knowledge.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff adapt their teaching so that they include all children. For example, they use signs and action with words when children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) join the play.
Communication: Staff provide information about children verbally, electronically and through progress reports. They share ideas for parents to help learning at home, for example through stories and rhymes.
Community Building: Parents speak highly about their children's care and experiences at the nursery. Their written comments show how their children are always happy to attend and how they 'love' telling parents about their day at nursery.
Programs and Resources: A strength of the nursery is the support it has in place for children with SEND. Staff swiftly identify children who work below expectations. This leads to a first-class support programme and extremely effective partnership working with a range of professionals and parents.
Staff Training: Staff ensure children get the support that they rightly deserve. They monitor individual learning and healthcare plans with rigour and precision. Children with SEND achieve the best possible outcomes.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Managers and staff have worked hard to meet the actions raised at the last inspection. Although some staff are relatively new to the nursery, they know children's individual care and learning needs well due to the robust induction procedures in place.
Safeguarding Training: Staff are aware of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on some children's social development.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff have high expectations for every child and what they can achieve. Children develop the skills they need for starting school.
Transition to Primary School: Children develop the skills they need for starting school.
Diversity Management: Staff adapt their teaching so that they include all children.
Child Safety Management: Managers implement risk assessment procedures and reduce hazards to keep children safe. They ensure the premises are safe and secure so that children cannot leave unsupervised.
Children's Safety and Security: Toddlers and older children use a tape measure to check the height of the sunflower plant. Children show how they are happy and feel safe in the care of staff.
Teaching Personal Safety: Staff have a good knowledge of the possible signs and symptoms of abuse. They are aware of the 'Prevent' duty guidance and other safeguarding issues, such as female genital mutilation and witchcraft.
Happiness and Settling: Key persons carry out children's personal care needs. There is also a second key person to do this for the continued emotional security of the child. Staff establish warm and nurturing bonds with children.
Nutritional Menu: Children enjoy healthy, balanced and nutritious meals. The nursery cook caters for children's individual dietary requirements.
