Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Staff carry out risk assessments in the environment to help provide children with a safe space to play.
Activities: Children are keen to join group activities. They listen well to stories that staff read and talk about the animals they see on the pages.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff use the curriculum to support children to be independent. For example, they ask children to put on their coats before they play outdoors. Children wash their hands by themselves, promoting hand-hygiene routines. These skills help children to be prepared for future learning.
Communication: Parents appreciate the information they receive from staff about their children's daily activities and learning.
Community Building: Parents comment positively about the setting and that their children are happy to attend and have developed confidence in their interactions with others.
Programs and Resources: Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well by staff. Early intervention is put in place to help narrow gaps in their learning.
Staff Training: The manager and staff work with parents and other professionals to support children's individual needs.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children show very positive relationships with staff. When staff enter a room, children call their name loudly and hold out their arms to greet them, waiting for a cuddle.
Safeguarding Training: The managers ensure that their staff understand how to identify the signs of abuse. For example, they ask staff to complete questionnaires and talk to them about how to recognise if children are at potential risk of harm.
Play and Learning Integration: Children laugh with staff when they excitedly play games with them in the garden. Mealtimes are sociable occasions where children and staff sit together to eat and discuss their home lives and experiences. This helps to create a culture of respect for others' views and thoughts.
Transition to Primary School: These skills help children to be prepared for future learning.
Diversity Management: Children are supported by staff to extend their knowledge of how other people may communicate. For instance, they learn sign language for some words and understand that people may use this way to communicate if they are under water or if they cannot hear.
Child Safety Management: Staff carry out risk assessments in the environment to help provide children with a safe space to play.
Children's Safety and Security: Children take part in fire drills with staff. This helps them to learn how to evacuate the building safely in the event of a fire.
Happiness and Settling: Children show a positive attitude to learning. Staff praise children for being polite, saying 'beautiful manners'.
Nutritional Menu: Children and staff sit together to eat and discuss their home lives and experiences.

From the The Windmill Kindergarten CIC
Over the course of our more than 35 years as a member of the Burton Joyce community, we have welcomed hundreds of families through our doors, some of whom we have known for many generations.
We are a forward-thinking playgroup, but we also like to maintain traditional values and a schedule that will help developing kids flourish.
We provide a variety of toys, books, and activities for kids ages 2 to 5 including free play, role play, small world, arts & crafts, sensory play, messy play, and more.
We take a break from play in the middle of the morning and the afternoon to allow the kids some quiet time to listen to a tale, have snack time, and engage in group activities like singing and playing games while also playing songs and nursery rhymes.
With astroturf and parts with bark for safety and interest, our outdoor play area is friendly and well-lit. A little herb garden sits there, and a tree provides shade on hot days. Children can engage in a variety of outdoor activities that promote the growth of their abilities, balance, coordination, and creativity.
Each kid will have a private online diary that only you can view and that is updated frequently so you can follow your child's progress while they are with us.
