Ofsted Inspection Summary
Happy Smiles was inspected by Ofsted on 13 May 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children arrive at the setting happily and are excited to attend. Parents say their children look forward to seeing their key person, and they have close relationships with staff. Children show they feel safe in the nursery and show confidence around new people."
Key strengths
- Although staff who work with toddlers know their own key children very well and are aware of their next steps, their teaching is not always focused on helping…
- The manager and staff carefully consider how they can broaden children's experiences.
- Children and families benefit from flexible session times and individual settling-in plans.
- Staff who work with babies know how to meet their care needs effectively and ensure their individual routines from home are followed.
- Lunchtime is unsettling for younger children, and some children become upset while they wait for lunch.
Areas for improvement
- help staff to focus their teaching to ensure toddlers are engaged in purposeful learning more consistently
- consider ways to implement a more positive lunchtime routine to ensure young children are happy and settled while they eat.
