Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children thoroughly enjoy exploring the outside play area. They are physically active, as they run from one end of the garden to the other, skilfully avoiding obstacles during a game with a member of staff. Children become deeply involved in water play, filling and emptying containers.
Activities: Children take part in a range of activities that broaden their knowledge. Staff work well with parents to find out what children already know, and they plan activities to extend their experiences.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff promote children's language skills effectively as they listen to them and describe the texture of the different items.
Communication: They know the children and their parents and carers well. They take account of parents' wishes when children start attending and keep parents informed about their children's care routines and progress.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: The team of well-qualified staff think carefully about how they can build on what children already know. Staff are confident to help children make decisions.
Safeguarding Training: Staff complete training regularly to ensure that their knowledge of safeguarding is up to date. They are vigilant in their supervision of children and they carry out suitable risk assessments to identify and minimise hazards.
Play and Learning Integration: Children are actively encouraged by staff to develop their confidence to choose their activities.
Transition to Primary School: The playgroup is involved with activities within the school. For example, the children join in with singing for the harvest festival that is due to take place at the local church. This partnership supports children in being prepared for starting school when the time comes.
Child Safety Management: The manager and staff give high priority to making sure that children are safe in the playgroup. Staff know the signs and symptoms of abuse and they are familiar with the procedures to follow, such as recording and reporting any concerns that arise.
Happiness and Settling: Children settle quickly when they arrive. Those children who require reassurance from staff are managed sensitively. This results in all children being happy and relaxed during the day.
