Ofsted Inspection Summary

Dragonflies Day Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 29 April 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children embrace the opportunities for learning that staff provide indoors and outdoors. They are keen to explore the nursery garden, enjoying fresh air and physical activity as they do so. With staff's close support, older babies progress from climbing the steps of a small slide to learning how to use a ladder as they tackle a larger climbing frame."

Key strengths

  • Staff teach children helpful techniques to promote their independence and look after their own care needs.
  • To support children's emotional development, staff help them to understand their feelings.
  • The manager encourages staff to create an environment that promotes children's positive behaviour.
  • Staff ask parents to provide family photos that can be displayed in their child's room at nursery.
  • Staff help children learn by using techniques such as explaining, demonstrating and questioning.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff to introduce new topics to children in a way that secures their prior learning before they take on additional information
  • review and amend the curriculum for literacy to make sure it is planned appropriately based on children's ages and stages of development.
