This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.

Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: The nursery is keen to strengthen the provision for outdoor learning to further improve the curriculum.
Activities: Children have lots of exposure to activities that help prepare them for the next stage in their learning. They are motivated and confidently use the available play materials in different ways.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff skilfully adapt and extend planned learning to meet children's individual learning needs.
Communication: Parents report positively on the progress children make with their speech and their personal, social and emotional development. They feel very well informed about their child's time.
Community Building: Parents speak highly of the nursery, saying their children enjoy their time and are eager to attend.
Programs and Resources: Experienced staff working directly with the children build on what children already know.
Staff Training: Permanent staff discuss training needs at regular supervision sessions. They access training to gain the knowledge they need to further improve outcomes for children. However, monitoring and training for temporary staff is less effective.
