Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children feel safe and secure. They are confident in their environment, both with the staff and each other. Children demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning and show high levels of concentration.
Activities: How the environment is set up and which activities are on offer all come from the children's interests. Children's level of engagement is high. Boys and girls are motivated to mark make through outdoor activities such as recording colours or numbers of cars and by attempting to copy and write words seen on the wall.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Early writing skills linked to the children's next steps are encouraged. For example, chocolate cornflour and water play ignite the children's curiosity to mark make with their fingers. Clear guidance from members of staff help the children with their confidence as they are shown how to hold a pencil and begin to write their name.
Communication: Staff know the children and their families very well and establish strong partnerships with them. Key persons will care for children from the same family to deliver consistent levels of care and communication.
Community Building: The manager has made strong connections with the parents and the community. The children benefit from links with a dental nurse by enrolling onto a healthy teeth programme and learning about how to brush their teeth effectively.
Staff Training: Staff receive good levels of supervision from the manager. Training needs are identified and acted upon.
Programs and Resources: Children's speech and language development is supported from the start through careful assessment. Children play sound games in small groups with experienced staff and listen to stories intently. However, children with English as an additional language are not as securely supported when using their home language in their play.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Highly attentive staff meet and greet children and parents as they arrive each morning. Staff know the children and their families very well and establish strong partnerships with them.
Safeguarding Training: All staff have completed safeguarding training. Staff demonstrate a sound knowledge of what to do if they had a safeguarding concern and what action they would take.
Play and Learning Integration: Children delight in conversations with staff during lunchtime. Children talk about Christmas trees and the morning activities they have enjoyed at pre-school.
Transition to Primary School: Children's speech and language development is supported from the start through careful assessment. Children play sound games in small groups with experienced staff and listen to stories intently.
Diversity Management: However, children with English as an additional language are not as securely supported when using their home language in their play.
Child Safety Management: Communication between the staff team and manager is secure. For example, children's attendances are closely observed and risk assessed. Good systems are in place to recognise, record and review existing injuries.
Children's Safety and Security: Children feel safe and secure. They are confident in their environment, both with the staff and each other.
Happiness and Settling: Children clearly show their enjoyment at coming to this pre-school. Children relay their love of the setting to their parents and want to stay beyond the end of the daily session.

Those who require housing assistance and council tax assistance should receive it. Making ensuring money does not go to those who make false claims is crucial. A consumer may have broken the law if they give a false explanation when claiming benefits or fail to report a change in circumstances. Benefit fraud costs British taxpayers roughly $2 billion annually. You can call the National Benefit Fraud Hotline at 0800 854 440 if you have any information about someone who is stealing benefits. Your call from a BT landline is private and cost-free. On weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., lines are available. (Please be aware that calls from mobile devices to this number may be charged.) By calling 0800 328 0512, you can use a text phone service if you have speech or hearing impairments. Also available are online reporting options at www.gov.uk/report-benefit-fraud and postal reporting options at NBFH, PO Box 224, Preston, PR1 1GP. Anyone suspected of committing a crime may be requested to appear in a cautionary interview. In compliance with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act of 1984, this will be tape recorded. Any excess compensation will be determined following the investigation. If a sanction is necessary, a senior officer will evaluate the situation. Whatever punishment is chosen, the excess money must still be paid back.
