Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children enjoy lengthy periods of time outdoors in the large spacious play area. They also benefit from outings in the community, which widens their experiences.
Activities: They thoroughly enjoy being collected by a tractor to visit the local farm. Children also visit Crawford Park, where they explore the forest environment and make hammocks to relax in.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Mathematical concepts have been identified as an area for improvement and these are currently being developed. For example, as children pour water from different-sized vessels, staff seize the opportunity to extend children's mathematical thinking.
Communication: Staff talk to parents about their children's day and share photos on the nursery app. This provides parents with reassurance and enables them to be aware of what their children are learning.
Programs and Resources: Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well and make good progress from their initial starting points. Staff work closely with parents and other agencies to ensure that strategies are put in place to support the needs of each child.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children are greeted by friendly staff and arrive happily. There is an effective key-person system in place which allows staff to build strong bonds with their key children.
Safeguarding Training: All staff understand their responsibility to safeguard children. They have a good knowledge of the different types of abuse. Staff are fully aware of the action to take if they have any concerns about children or staff.
Play and Learning Integration: Children develop their physical skills as they engage in physical activities. Risk assessments are conducted effectively, which helps to ensure children's safety at all times.
Transition to Primary School: Staff have strong links with feeder schools and work in close partnership with teachers. This helps them to develop a clear vision of what they want children to learn before they go to school.
Child Safety Management: Risk assessments are conducted effectively, which helps to ensure children's safety at all times.
Children's Safety and Security: Babies and young children are well cared for and have the attention and support they need. They have developed strong attachments with staff. This helps them to feel safe and secure.
Happiness and Settling: Children enjoy coming to nursery. They are greeted by friendly staff and arrive happily.
Nutritional Menu: Children accessing nursery meals are served healthy dishes, such as tomato pasta, which they thoroughly enjoy. However, packed lunches consisting of sweet or chocolate treats are brought in. This does not reflect the nursery's healthy eating ethos.
