Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children happily enter and go straight to the large outdoor area. They delight in splashing in muddy puddles, preparing pretend pancakes in the mud kitchen and tenderly washing baby dolls.
Activities: They provide a wealth of activities to interest children. Children focus and concentrate carefully on many activities, such as guessing the musical instrument, story time, creating emotion faces and building outdoor dens.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff have high expectations for every child. They set appropriate challenges for children, to support their individual progress. Younger children explore new vocabulary like 'rosemary' and 'mint' when playing in the mud kitchen, while older children follow instructions to make a pretend meal using quantities.
Forest School Sessions: Children thoroughly enjoy spending extended periods of time in the forest school area. Staff provide a calm and welcoming environment, where children can freely explore and gain independence.
Community Building: Parents shared their views about the setting with the inspector.
Programs and Resources: Staff are particularly effective at supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. For example, they deliver one-to-one sessions to focus on concentration and positive self-worth.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: The manager has a good improvement plan in place to continue to improve both the physical environment and the education and care provided. She supports her staff to feel empowered and part of a supportive team. Training is regularly sought to enhance the provision and to help build staff's personal confidence and abilities.
Safeguarding Training: Staff have a clear understanding of child protection issues and their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding all children.
Play and Learning Integration: Children show great perseverance and a can-do attitude when trying to wrap different shapes, and they grasp new skills, such as using scissors.
Diversity Management: Children are inclusive of one another and are happy to invite friends into their play. They share the resources and enjoy helping each other.
Child Safety Management: The manager undertakes effective risk assessments of the pre-school environment, which helps to reduce and minimise any potential hazards.
Children's Safety and Security: Children happily follow the routines, confident that they know what is coming next, happy to tidy away resources together and get ready for group times and lunch. This helps them to feel settled and to cope well with transitions.
Happiness and Settling: Children are happy and settled at the pre-school, and their behaviour demonstrates how much they enjoy themselves.
