Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Medicines and first-aid materials are stored correctly and readily available when required. In classrooms, health and safety checklists are used every day in order to keep areas clean, tidy and safe for children and adults.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Nursery spaces are used with excellent care and awareness, offering safe environments for young children.
Philosophy: The leadership team has maintained the outstanding quality of education in the school since the last inspection.
Forest School Sessions: Early years pupil premium money, for example, is used to fund a forest school area and a specialist teacher.
Activities: Whether watering plants in the outdoor herb garden, making letter shapes from modelling clay or enjoying a story, rhyme or song, children have plenty of reasons to use their voices and explore the sounds and meanings of words.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: The previous inspection recommended that the school could do more to develop children's communication skills. I found this focus to be woven through every aspect of the curriculum. Your attention to developing children's early speaking and listening skills cannot be faulted.
Activities: Exciting and varied learning opportunities lead to active learning.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children are encouraged to problem-solve and engage with books independently.
Communication: Staff are on hand at the start and end of the day to chat with parents and have put on special workshops or information events to help parents find out more about their children's education.
Community Building: There was a relaxed, yet purposeful and productive air to the whole situation. Parents, staff and children were all comfortable and at ease with one another and a sense of busy focused activity was apparent.
Communication: School works closely with families; parents appreciate workshops and support for child development.
Programs and Resources: Children who find it hard to settle in school or to cope with certain situations receive attentive expert support.
Staff Training: The solution-focused attitude of your staff team means that such support is managed in highly effective ways and parents are given constructive advice.
Programs and Resources: Exceptional provision with highly individualised approach; external professionals involved as needed.
Staff Training: Staff demonstrate deep understanding of each child's needs.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Adults are excellent role models for the children in their care. They are attentive to children's ideas, show concern for others and aim for excellence.
Safeguarding Training: Staff training is up to date and the central record of checks on employees and other adults in school is maintained correctly.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Caring staff ensure highest quality relationships; deeply ingrained ethos.
Play and Learning Integration: The vast majority of children start school with a level of knowledge and skills below that typical for their age. Their range of pre-school experiences and their communication and physical skills are often limited. In response, you have designed a curriculum and approach that targets these particular needs.
Transition to Primary School: From the moment children arrive in the morning they are immersed in language-rich activities.
Play and Learning Integration: High levels of engagement and sustained concentration in learning activities.
Transition to Primary School: Children fully prepared for primary school transition.
Child Safety Management: The school's procedures for keeping children safe are excellent.
Children's Safety and Security: The school works closely with a range of different organisations in order to provide appropriate support to children and, when needs be, their families. This help is appreciated by parents, and helps to strengthen the bond of trust between home and school.
Teaching Personal Safety: On all three sites, there are numerous signs and messages on display that remind staff and parents about what do in response to a concern about a child's safety or well-being. These help to keep safeguarding at the forefront of everyone's thinking and reinforce the school's expectations for looking after children and treating them fairly.
Happiness and Settling: Children settle in quickly, make excellent progress and are happy and safe at school.
Child Safety Management: Safeguarding arrangements are effective.
Happiness and Settling: Children settle quickly and feel safe, indicating a nurturing environment.
