Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children have access to learn outdoors each day, which supports their health and well-being. They enjoy being active and use a range of apparatus to develop their physical strength and coordination. Specialist teachers deliver weekly dance and yoga sessions. Children proudly demonstrate the new skills they have learned, as they leap and turn in mid-air.
Activities: Children are curious and eager to learn. They enjoy activities and are excited to discover new things, such as finding out where worms and insects live in the garden.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff encourage good hygiene procedures to tackle the spread of infection. Children learn why it is important to wash their hands regularly and to keep the nursery environment clean. They help staff to clean the tables before mealtimes and are proud of being helpful.
Communication: Leaders and staff develop strong relationships with children and their families. Parents speak very highly of the nursery. They say that staff are extremely caring and supportive, and help them to extend children's learning at home.

Staff develop personalised, targeted plans for children. This includes specialised small-group sessions each day, to support their social and communication skills.
