Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children enjoy their time outside. They run, take turns on wheeled toys and balance on coloured 'stepping stones'.
Activities: Children confidently choose activities and equipment that interest them. They spend long periods immersed in their play and exploration.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: This helps children to strengthen their personal and social development. Children begin to understand that their feelings and opinions matter.
Communication: Information is regularly passed to parents in a variety of ways. In return, parents are able to share their own observations and news from home, using individual accounts in an electronic communication system.
Programs and Resources: Dedicated members of staff create care plans and individual learning plans that support children's needs. All staff carry small cards with visual clues to depict key routines and important requests, such as using the toilet.
Staff Training: Regularly introduce training opportunities for all staff to join in and evaluate the impact this has on the quality of education.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Babies and children develop close and trusting bonds with their key person and other staff. They seek cuddles for reassurance and comfort, helping them settle and feel secure.
Safeguarding Training: Staff complete regular safeguarding training and refresher courses to help ensure that their knowledge and understanding reflect the most up-to-date information.
Play and Learning Integration: Children welcome the involvement of the attentive staff. They giggle when staff pretend that food made from play dough is 'spicy'.
Transition to Primary School: Staff carefully plan when and how children are introduced to and move to a new group room. This helps to make transitions as smooth as possible.
Diversity Management: Children who speak English as an additional language are given opportunities to speak and listen in small groups, which helps them to practise and understand new words.
Child Safety Management: Staff know how to report any concerns they might have about children's welfare, to help keep children safe from harm and abuse.
Children's Safety and Security: Babies follow familiar routines from home, including when and where they sleep. This contributes to a smooth transition from home to nursery.
Happiness and Settling: Children enjoy dancing and moving to music, helping to strengthen their muscles and coordination. They sing along to familiar rhymes and songs, contributing to the language-rich environment.
