Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Diverse Books and Toys: Children settle quickly to the wide range of engaging and thoughtful activities that are organised for them.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Staff use the outside area highly effectively. There is an abundance of positive play, sharing and engagement among children.
Philosophy: Leaders are ambitious for all children. They have developed an effective curriculum, which sets out challenging end points and the steps towards these for all children at all stages.
Activities: For example, staff teach children about life cycles and changes by looking at tadpoles and exploring minibeast habitats.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: They identify the specific knowledge they want children to learn, including key vocabulary. This often links to children’s existing knowledge and interests.
Communication: Leaders shape daily routines skilfully to ensure that key workers make a positive impact with the children they support.
Community Building: Parents are overwhelmingly supportive. One parent said, ‘Every child is nurtured and treated as an individual.’
Programs and Resources: Leaders work well with staff to identify children with SEND. Where needed, staff work effectively with external professionals, such as speech and language support.
Staff Training: However, some newer aspects of the curriculum are not yet fully implemented by all staff. These include how children’s specific knowledge and vocabulary in some areas is developed through techniques such as questioning and thoughtful interactions.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Adults greet children with smiles at the start of each day. Children settle quickly to the wide range of engaging and thoughtful activities that are organised for them.
Safeguarding Training: Staff receive ongoing training, can recognise the signs of abuse, and know what action to take.
Play and Learning Integration: There is an abundance of positive play, sharing and engagement among children. Staff facilitate interactions between children very well.
Transition to Primary School: They learn to do things for themselves, such as collect their lunch boxes and get themselves ready for the end of the school day.
Child Safety Management: The single central record is kept up to date, and leaders carry out stringent employment checks to make sure that all staff have the appropriate qualifications they need.
Children's Safety and Security: This helps children, including two-year olds at the setting, to develop very positive relationships with staff and to feel secure and safe.
Teaching Personal Safety: Leaders work closely with external agencies to make sure that pupils and their families receive the support they need.
Happiness and Settling: Children are happy and confident at this village nursery school.
