Frame 5 : Ofsted

The following extracts have been taken from Little Scallywags latest OFSTED report, which was carried out in April 2008.

'Children thrive in this interesting and stimulating environment. The programme of activities both indoors and outside, provides a balanced range of learning in all areas of development.'

'Children's health is protected and promoted very well through staff following routines and procedures to promote good hygiene practices.'

'Children enjoy a varied menu of fresh, healthy meals and snacks whilst at the nursery, which promotes good health and development. Fresh fruit, salad items and vegetables are included in the menu and all food is freshly prepared each day.'

'A healthy lifestyle is promoted through plenty of fresh air and exercise in the nursery garden and on occasional trips to the nearby park.'

'Children enjoy ample space for all their needs in this bright, clean, safe nursery. Children are age divided into four rooms all on the ground floor and all with easy access to the garden. Brightly coloured art work, posters and photographs around the walls give children a sense of warmth and belonging.'

'Babies and young toddlers enjoy happy and secure relationships with familiar adults who provide appropriate individual care and attention throughout the day. A wide range of safe and suitable play materials, such as reflective, noisy and sensory toys, enhance and stimulate babies' all round development. Experienced and qualified staff plan and assess the children's progress, ensuring that all needs are met.'

'The quality of teaching and learning is good. Children make progress in their development as they enjoy a range of different activities, often chosen by the children themselves and sometimes centred around particular themes, which incorporate all six areas of required learning.'

'Children's individual needs are met extremely well by staff who are knowledgeable about the children in their care. Close liaison with parents during the settling in time, allows staff to get to know home routines, preferences and general abilities. This ensures good continuity of care between home and the nursery.'
