Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Diverse Books and Toys: Staff support children's early literacy. They readily respond when children ask to be read to. Children's obvious enjoyment of stories encourages them to read books themselves when they are ready.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children play outdoors every day. However, children's time outdoors is relatively short and staff are more confident about planning learning indoors. The wild area and garden area are currently closed off. On occasion, these factors limit children's outdoor experiences and learning.
Activities: For example, pre-school children notice that rays of late afternoon sunshine are shining through the blue water container. The water moves and blue light dances on the children and the walls. Children are excited. They experience and learn about the properties of light and water. They make links in their learning when they say, 'it's like the ocean'.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children learn about the world. They watch and learn about the temporary traffic lights outside the nursery and incorporate traffic lights and road safety into their play.
Communication: Parents know that they can enter the nursery, or communicate by telephone, if they have confidential matters to discuss. The nursery's strong partnerships with parents help to promote children's development.
Community Building: For example, some children felt ready to send their dummies to the 'dummy elves' during the Christmas holiday. This encouraged children's confident communication really effectively.
Programs and Resources: Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, or whose development gives cause for concern, have individual support plans.
Staff Training: The plans help staff to implement advice from specialist professionals, such as speech and language therapists.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children all belong to key groups that have a key person and a 'buddy' member of staff. This helps to ensure that children always have a familiar person to go to if their key person is not there.
Safeguarding Training: Managers and staff benefit from regular training that updates their knowledge of child protection matters. Everyone understands their responsibility to keep children safe.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff sequence children's learning effectively. This helps children to be ready for school. Babies and toddlers use feeder cups. Staff encourage older toddlers to use open cups and pre-school children dispense their own drinks of water independently. They know why it is important to take regular drinks. This helps children to form habits that promote their good health.
Transition to Primary School: Children make good progress.
Diversity Management: Staff help children to continuously extend their vocabulary. For example, toddlers busily play with zoo animals and a variety of wooden shapes. Staff play alongside and model words and sentences. For example, they say, 'shall we put the giraffe under the bridge?' Staff's skilful interaction helps toddlers to understand and use words about position.
Child Safety Management: Managers act quickly on information that children may be at risk of harm. They make sure that staff have the information they need to promote children's safety and well-being.
Children's Safety and Security: Well-established routines promote children's health and safety and help to ensure that children are supervised. For example, pre-school children know that they must ask staff to accompany them to the toilet.
Happiness and Settling: Children of all ages show that they feel confident and 'at home' in the busy nursery. Babies sit happily alongside attentive staff, or toddle away to explore the familiar toys and surroundings. Older toddlers ably follow well-established routines when they wait to wash their hands and go to find a chair at the lunch table.
Nutritional Menu: The nursery operates a 'red plate' system at mealtimes and everyone knows the specific dietary needs of individual children. This means that religious and parental preferences are respected and children with allergies to particular foods are catered for safely.

From the Busy Bees Day Nursery at Holmes Chapel
We would like to extend an invitation to everyone to embody our values every day. Our values are essential convictions that serve as the basis for how we behave ourselves and how we operate.
We deliver great early years education while upholding the highest standards of care and safety.
Give every child a head start on school preparation by providing high-quality childcare and engaging learning opportunities.
Three families who were all involved in child care and education made the decision to take matters into their own hands in 1983 after becoming dissatisfied with the lack of high-quality childcare options for their kids.
The Rocklands, the first Busy Bees nursery, debuted in Lichfield, Staffordshire, in March 1984.
Since then, Busy Bees has expanded to become the UK's largest childcare provider.
The original founders are still very much involved in the running of Busy Bees, and the standards of childcare they demanded, for their own children back then, are still enthusiastically preserved in every facility managed by Busy Bees.
Busy Bees has become synonymous with quality care, and adopts a practical child-centred approach, where children are respected as individuals and encouraged to learn and develop at their own pace within a home from home environment.
The needs of the individual child are paramount in all our childcare facilities, and Busy Bees work together to create initiatives, supply resources and provide outstanding care to ensure every childs interests, safety and happiness is central to everything we do.
