Ofsted Inspection Summary
Kaleidascope Childcare was inspected by Ofsted on 21 September 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff work hard to provide a tranquil and welcoming environment. This helps children to feel immediately relaxed as they enter the nursery and develop strong relationships with staff. Children are provided with exciting learning that is well planned and builds on what children already know and can do."
Key strengths
- Group times are instigated by children, and they enjoy making choices about which story or song they will share.
- Staff use mealtimes to support children's self-help and independence skills.
- The special educational needs coordinator uses her knowledge to support children well.
- Staff provide children with many opportunities to gain new skills and knowledge about the world through hands-on experiences like going on local trips.
- Leaders have sought guidance on the importance of an inspiring continuous provision.
Areas for improvement
- review the implementation of group times to maximise the learning opportunities for every child
- develop strategies that staff use to support children who speak English as an additional language to communicate their wants and needs.
