Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: There is a good range of equipment to help pupils develop their motor skills energetically, such as climbing frames, as well as a track where they can ride scooters and tricycles.
Activities: The 鈥楻onald Tree Rangers鈥� sessions show children how to work together outdoors to explore the wonder and joy of nature. They learn to use natural materials to make paint, construct dens together, utilise natural surroundings to act out stories, and to make a campfire on which they can toast marshmallows. These much-enjoyed sessions teach children to think about, and to take, controlled risks, while ensuring that staff carefully consider and minimise any risk of harm.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff praise children by using phrases such as 鈥榞ood listening鈥� and 鈥榮mart sitting鈥�. Where a child does disengage from their learning, staff quickly notice, and refocus that child鈥檚 attention quickly. Staff also develop children鈥檚 early reading and phonics skills well.
Communication: Parents are particularly complimentary about how you keep them informed about their child鈥檚 progress. One parent summed up the view of others by saying, 鈥楨xcellent staff. I receive feedback about my child regularly and they have worked incredibly hard to put him at ease and teach him new skills. I cannot praise them highly enough.鈥�
Programs and Resources: A large majority of children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities make strong progress from their starting points in most areas of learning. This is also true for children who speak English as an additional language.
Staff Training: All staff have a very strong commitment to the safeguarding of children. You have ensured that they have received good and regular training, including in areas of recent national concern, such as radicalisation.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: All of those who responded to Ofsted鈥檚 staff questionnaire said that they enjoyed working at Ronald Tree and that they receive good training to improve further. Children see that staff work in shared ways alongside each other. They know, therefore, that they will receive the same friendly, helpful and polite approach, no matter which adult they are near.
Safeguarding Training: You have ensured that they have received good and regular training, including in areas of recent national concern, such as radicalisation. They are vigilant for any signs that a child could be being abused, and use the school鈥檚 system to report immediately any concern they have.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff plan exciting activities for them that sustain their interest. For example, children learn to record the different sounds they can make by beating different pots and instruments, or use a peeler to shave carrots for a vegetable soup.
Transition to Primary School: By the time that children leave the nursery, almost all children are broadly in line with the expectations for their age, with a good proportion exceeding these.
Diversity Management: A high proportion of these children leave the nursery having caught up, due to highly effective work by staff to develop their language skills.
Child Safety Management: All parents I met, along with those who responded to Parent View, believe that the school keeps their child safe. School records show that parents are also kept informed of any accidents or injuries that happen to children.
Children's Safety and Security: Older children are taught how to tell someone politely but clearly if someone upsets them, and about the risk of strangers.
Teaching Personal Safety: Children are taught to keep safe in a wide variety of ways that are appropriate for their age. For example, staff use the zebra crossing in the nursery to teach them the importance of road safety, as well as how it is important not to run about indoors.
Happiness and Settling: Children make brisk overall progress from low overall starting points. Staff place particular emphasis on promoting children鈥檚 personal, social and emotional development.
