Comment from March 2013
‘The group offers an inclusive setting where children
begin to value diversity. Staff work closely with other
professionals and children who need additional
support receive input through, individualised plans
which ensure they progress to the best of their ability.’
‘Staff foster children's preparation for school
appropriately, by developing their confidence and
independence through personal responsibility skills,
such as tidying away after play and putting on and
fastening their coats. Furthermore, resources are
easily accessible to children, which foster their choice
and independence.’
‘Staff sufficiently support children to develop an
understanding of the importance of physical exercise
and a healthy diet. They support them in managing
their own hygiene and personal needs.’
‘Children have access in all weathers to a large well-
resourced outdoor play area where they have
regular daily exercise. This further contributes to
promote children's health and well-being.’
‘The indoor and outdoor learning environment
encourages children's imagination and enables them
to play an active role in their learning during routine
sessions for self-chosen play.’
‘Children show a sense of belonging and
demonstrate that they feel safe. They gain self-
esteem, learning to make friends with their peers from
an early age.’
‘The nursery has a good relationship with own local
school and other schools in the area. Staff pass their
individual reports on to the other professionals and
this ensures consistency across their learning and
development. This practice highlights sound
partnership working to improve outcomes for
children.
