Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children enjoy being active. Younger children energetically chased balls in and out of tunnels. Older children used stepping stones, big blocks and balance beams to create their own obstacle course.
Activities: Staff use their good observations and assessments of children to plan a range of activities that challenge children well.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: The manager implements effective systems to monitor children's progress and to identify and address any gaps in their learning.
Communication: Staff are not consistently aware of children's achievements at home, to give them an all-round picture of their abilities when assessing their progress.
Programs and Resources: Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive very good support to enable them to achieve and make good progress.
Staff Training: Good systems of communication ensure that they are aware of any changes to children's learning plans and know how to implement these effectively.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: The management team supports staff well. It encourages staff to develop their knowledge and skills through training, and the manager monitors the positive impact on outcomes for children.
Safeguarding Training: The manager ensures that all staff regularly update their safeguarding training so they remain well informed about local procedures to protect children from harm.
Play and Learning Integration: Children behave well. Older children talk about teamwork as they help to tidy up.
Transition to Primary School: Children learn good skills that prepare them well for their next stage in learning, including going to school.

From the Octopus Children's Daycare
In Burnham on Sea, Octopus Childrens Daycare was established in 1998 on the grounds of Burnham Infant School. We are lucky to be able to provide daycare and Early Years Entitlement funding to 2, 3, and 4-year-olds and are able to welcome children as young as 2. In addition, we offer a breakfast and after-school programme to help Burnham Infant School parents as well as our own kids. During the academic year, we are open from 8 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday. Please inquire about our summer vacation options. Please take the time to look at our website, welcome packet, team page, and any events the kids have participated in. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or to set up a visit to learn more about our daycare services.
