The Sutton Nursery School OFSTED Report
The purpose of this inspection is to assure government, parents and the public of the quality and standard of day care in accordance with the National Standards for Under Eights Day Care and Childminding; and that the nursery education for funded three and four year old children is of an acceptable quality.

The Sutton Nursery School inspection took place on 21 Jan 2005 and can be viewed from the OFSTED website click here or you can downloaded from here

"Staff create a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the nursery is well organised with good routines, equipment and resources "

     
       

 

Here are some highlights of the report:

How effective is the nursery education?

  • Partnership with parents is very good. Involvement in their child's learning is given a high priority and staff encourage parents to share information on learning at home.

What is being done well?

  • Communication, language and literacy is a particular strength of the educational programme.
  • Staff demonstrate in planning and practice a good knowledge of the foundation stage curriculum. They are fully aware of the level of development of individual children including children with special educational needsand ensure that all are appropriately challenged in order to reach their full potential.
    Children show confidence and are motivated to learn.
  • Staff are good role models and are calm and consistent in their management of behaviour.
  • The provision for creative development is very good. Children show good imagination and work well with a variety of media.

What needs to be done?
  • Continue to develop a range of equipment and provide more regular opportunities for children to develop their climbing skills.

A new activity centre has now been installed (seen above) - we are keen to meet and exceed the requirements of the the OFSTED reports we get.
