What Ofsted says it does well
“Leadership and management are strong at this nursery.”
“Staff gather information about each child when they start at the nursery.”
“Transitions between rooms in the setting are individually arranged for each child, based on their stage of development.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“improve staff interaction with children to model the use of language, extend vocabulary and support their communication and language skills.”
