The following are quotes from our latest OFSTED report.
“Staff support the children well; they are close at hand to provide appropriate levels of support and guidance to help children to maintain their focus and enjoy their activities.”
“To help children to develop positive self-esteem and confidence, staff treat each child as an individual. Topics such as, 'people who help us', and 'people from around the world' are used effectively to deepen children's understanding of the wider community and to help them to consider how people live in other parts of the world.”
“Children are learning to behave well, because staff let them know when their behaviour is not acceptable and give them support to improve their behaviour and resolve conflicts in positive ways. For example, staff remind children of the golden rules and topics, such as, 'attitude of the week', help children to remember what is expected of them. For example, if the attitude of the week is 'Being Friendly.' children explain that it means, sharing and taking turns. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is fostered.”
“The setting takes some effective steps to involve parents in their children's learning. For example, parents are aware of the topics that children are studying. In addition, they are given information about the Foundation Stage curriculum and the areas of learning. Parents feel able consolidate their children's learning when they are away from the setting, because they are aware of practical activities such as the letter, number and colour of the week.”
