Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Very good use of the recently improved extensive outdoor area. Children run, balance on logs and enjoy riding around on their bicycles and scooters with increasing skills and energy.
Activities: Teachers make very good use of the recently improved extensive outdoor area. Activities include threading, weaving, counting, and making spiders to hang around the classroom.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children make outstanding progress in all areas of their learning. Teachers harness this knowledge and use it to provide stimulating activities that rapidly move children on to learn new things.
Communication: Parents speak most highly of the school. They typically comment on how swiftly children settle into the routines, the kind and friendly staff, and the helpful information they receive on how their children are doing in school.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Parents comment on the kind and friendly staff. All staff work together extremely well as a team to make every minute of learning time count.
Safeguarding Training: Staff trained in safeguarding training and know what they need to do to keep children safe.
Play and Learning Integration: The sound of laughter is almost always present in the nursery as teachers’ enthusiasm and real pleasure in helping children learn spill over into creating a highly stimulating environment.
Transition to Primary School: By the time they enter Year 1 they are ready to learn. The skills of all children are well developed for the next stage of their education.
Child Safety Management: The school’s work to keep pupils safe and secure is outstanding. As the children move very sensibly around the building and outdoor area, they demonstrate that they understand how to keep themselves safe and to manage risk.
Children's Safety and Security: Children say that they feel safe; they demonstrate this through their confidence in the teachers and excellent relationships with all the adults in the school.
Happiness and Settling: Staff create a very happy and calm learning environment which invites children to join in. Children simply do not have time to misbehave because they are too busy enjoying playing and learning together.
Nutritional Menu: Children know that they need to eat healthy food. They typically comment that ‘healthy food makes you big and strong’ and know that eating too many sweets will ‘make your teeth go black’.
