Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Diverse Books and Toys: Children throughout the nursery show a love of stories. Babies choose their favourite story book and clamber on to a member of staff's knee to listen to it being read to them. Toddlers carefully turn the pages of their favourite books. Pre-school children show excitement as they take part in a vote to choose their story of the week.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Staff recognise the value of outdoor play for all children and that not all children have access to a garden at home. They provide exciting outdoor play experiences. For example, some children play on the climbing frame, pretending it is a rocket, blasting off to the moon. Younger children use spoons to dig for uncooked spaghetti in the sand tray.
Activities: Children enjoy sliding their hands through the foam in the tuff spot, making different marks and exploring the sensory activity to find the hidden bugs.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: For instance, staff provide activities such as threading and a 'buckle cushion' to support children's physical development and their fine muscle control.
Communication: Staff also work in strong partnership with parents and other professionals to ensure that children get the required levels of support they need.
Programs and Resources: Leaders and staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. For example, staff monitor children's language development closely and provide specific activities to support children with speech and language delay.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children are greeted warmly by staff as they arrive at the nursery. They separate happily from their parents and are ready to play and explore their environment, demonstrating that they feel safe and secure.
Safeguarding Training: Staff are confident in the procedures to follow in the event that they have any concerns about the conduct or practice of a colleague. They know the signs and symptoms of abuse and who to report concerns to, should they be worried about a child in their care. The contact details for relevant safeguarding agencies are clearly displayed in the nursery.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff build good relationships with the children and can talk confidently about children's interests. They then use these interests to plan exciting activities that engage children in their learning.
Transition to Primary School: At the nursery, they explore these in their play and use words, such as 'crispy, heavy and big', as they describe how they feel, repeating back new vocabulary modelled by the adults in the setting. This supports children throughout the nursery to develop strong language skills.
Child Safety Management: Staff teach children how to carefully manage risks in their own play. For example, during an activity using scissors, staff remind children about remaining seated and holding the scissors carefully to stay safe. This supports children to learn the skills needed to keep themselves safe.
Happiness and Settling: They cheer with joy as they join in with singing and perform the actions to their favourite songs.
Nutritional Menu: They regularly speak with parents to check the information they hold on children's dietary requirements is up to date; this contributes to children's health and welfare.
