Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children approach physical play with enthusiasm. They participate in ball games and use the slide with confidence. Younger children learn to navigate risks as they climb the steps to the slide. Attentive staff stay close by to support them when necessary.
Activities: Children have plenty of opportunity to engage in activities that support their interests. For example, children roll, stretch and flatten dough, before cutting out shapes. This helps to develop muscle strength and dexterity in preparation for early writing.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff use their extensive knowledge of the children to engage them in a range of carefully chosen activities and experiences. Children show developing concentration and engagement as they absorb themselves in their play. Staff engage with the children as they play, narrating and introducing new and interesting words such as 'ingredients' and 'recipe'.

Staff Training: Partnership working with parents and other professionals, such as speech and language therapists, further supports children to achieve.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Caring and attentive staff welcome children warmly at the door. The effective key-person approach and friendly greetings from staff help children to part from their carers with ease.
