Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children delight in their opportunities for outdoor play and demonstrate good physical dexterity as they kick balls and practise scoring goals.
Activities: Children enjoy exploring the secure outdoor area and laugh infectiously as they play hide and seek with their friends.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff support children to build on what they already know and can do and have high expectations for their progress.
Communication: Parents speak highly about the pre-school and comment on the significant progress their children make.
Programs and Resources: All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are provided with tailored support and individual plans to ensure that they make good progress.
Staff Training: Staff are highly skilled at identifying children who may need extra support and use targeted interventions, supported by external professionals, to close any gaps in children's learning.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Staff are nurturing and help children to feel safe and emotionally secure in this welcoming pre-school.
Safeguarding Training: All staff know the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. They are fully aware of their responsibilities to record and report any safeguarding concerns swiftly.
Play and Learning Integration: Children benefit from excellent links with the local primary school and are supported through regular visits. As a result, transitions are smooth and children are fully prepared for their next stage of learning.
Transition to Primary School: Children access a broad curriculum that helps to ensure that they embed skills across all areas of learning.
Child Safety Management: Staff teach children about potential risks. For example, they explain why they should not swing on their chairs or get up from the table while eating. They also teach children how to use scissors and knives effectively.
Children's Safety and Security: Staff's interactions with children are carefully considered. They give clear and consistent behavioural messages and model good manners and expected behaviours very well.
Happiness and Settling: Children become deeply engrossed in their play and are thoughtful and caring towards their friends.
Nutritional Menu: During a well-organised snack time, children know to tidy up, wash their hands and sit at the table. They choose and chop their own fruits and pour their own milk or water.
