Our last Ofsted inspection took place on 17th July 2024, and we are pleased to announce that we received a ‘Good’ grading in all areas.
Below are some of the comments made by Ofsted:
Staff demonstrate a secure understanding of their safeguarding responsibilities and the procedure to report a concern.
Staff ensure that they understand the needs of all children, including those with SEND. They use strategies to support children to make good progress in their learning and development.
Staff are positive communication partners for children. In the baby room, they encourage the youngest children to talk constantly, repeating words back using the correct pronunciation to support children's developing speech.
Staff constantly support children's early literacy skills. Children love reading books indoors and outside. In all rooms, they enjoy practising drawing and writing on the mark-making walls.
Staff encourage children's creativity. Younger children paint using their hands and fingers to create different animal patterns and prints.
Staff encourage children to be active, indoors and when spending time in the nursery garden. They provide healthy snacks and meals and teach children to develop their independence skills.
Parent partnership is a strength of the nursery. Parents comment that they feel well informed about their children's day. They welcome the opportunities to spend time in the nursery for key celebrations or to share stories in different languages with children.
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. There is an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts children's interests first.
