Congratulations are in order for all at The Island Day Nursery at Weston Academy following a recent Ofsted inspection. The report was released today and finds the nursery to be providing a ‘Good’ standard of the early years provision.
The report reveals the provision is good because,
- Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery. Children of all ages are happy and confident owing to good relationships with staff.
- The children are welcomed into a warm, friendly setting, where they are valued and included, so are ready to learn.
- A very good partnership between the nursery and the parents ensures key information is shared between them, which helps the staff meet children’s individual needs.
- The environment provides children with opportunities to choose their play materials and follow their individual learning styles.
- Children feel safe and secure in the nursery and management’s arrangements for
safeguarding the children are robust.
The report goes on to say the Nursery is not yet outstanding because
Planning does not always clearly show the learning outcomes of activities to enable all staff to skilfully question children during activities to extend their learning as well as
possible.
