Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Diverse Books and Toys: Children demonstrate a love of books. For example, babies enjoy turning the 'touchy-feely' books. Toddlers listen attentively to their favourite stories, and older children re-enact and recall the story about a bear hunt.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children grow in confidence as they happily explore the well-resourced learning environment. Children display good behaviour as they wait patiently for their turn on the swing.
Activities: Older children use various tools to manipulate the dough, developing their physical and creative skills.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff model language well to help children develop communication and language skills. They also introduce new words, such as 'squidgy' and 'squash', as children play.
Communication: Parents formed a forum and meet with staff to discuss any improvements. This helps to build strong parent partnerships.
Community Building: Residents from the local care home regularly visit the nursery and join in with children's activities. This boosts children's social and interaction skills.
Programs and Resources: Staff have high expectations and instil accurate targets for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Visual prompts help children with SEND understand what is happening now and next.
Staff Training: Staff model language well to help children develop communication and language skills. However, some staff encourage children to talk while they have a dummy in their mouth, not fully supporting speech development.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children form strong bonds with the kind and nurturing staff. They enter happily and have lots of opportunities to learn new skills.
Safeguarding Training: Staff are aware of the signs that might indicate a child is at risk of harm or abuse. They keep their knowledge up to date with regular training.
Play and Learning Integration: Children form strong bonds with the kind and nurturing staff. They enter happily and have lots of opportunities to learn new skills.
Transition to Primary School: Children's early literacy and oracy skills are supported in preparation for school.
Diversity Management: Staff celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of all children. Photos of children's families, homes, and friends are displayed around the nursery.
Child Safety Management: Children's safety is further assured because the premises are kept safe and secure.
Children's Safety and Security: Safer recruitment procedures are in place and adhered to, ensuring that all staff are suitable to work with children.
Happiness and Settling: Children form strong bonds with the kind and nurturing staff. They enter happily and have lots of opportunities to learn new skills.
Nutritional Menu: Toddlers learn to use different cutlery and eat independently. Pre-school children serve their own food.

From the Little Owls Day Nursery
Since its inception in 2003, St. Bedes Childcare Ltd. has grown to include 7 locations in Leigh, Wigan, and Bolton.
We are incredibly happy to help our children through life transitions as we get them ready for their next trip on to school. Our former Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jack Hatch, received an OBE for his contributions to education.
We understand how challenging it may be to find the best daycare for your young children, so we create a home-away-from-home setting for you and your kids, and our staff will make you feel at ease when you go back to work.
Our goal as a charity is to make sure that every kid is prepared for every transition in life, whether it's to a new nursery room or the start of the school year.
Our individualised learning strategy makes sure we can do this in a way that is suitable for the child's age and stage of development.
Each student is treated as an individual, and the learning objectives are specifically designed to take into account your child's passions.
Parents are acknowledged as their child's primary educators, and they will always be their child's major contact.
Early on, we want to foster and encourage a child's love of learning.
