Ofsted Inspection Summary

Kaleidoscope Childcare was inspected by Ofsted on 23 June 2021 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are happy and settled at the setting. They are confident, resilient and have patience as they eagerly engage in challenging activities that staff carefully plan for them. For example, children became engrossed in trying to find new ways of rolling a ball down a pipe and into the bucket at the bottom."

Key strengths

  • The manager and staff build and maintain positive partnerships with parents.
  • Staff support children to develop a good understanding of the similarities and differences of people within the setting and in the wider community.
  • All staff support children to develop good communication skills.
  • Staff support all children effectively, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
  • Overall, children behave well and staff support them to develop good social skills, for example encouraging them to say 'please' and 'thank you'.

Areas for improvement

  • monitor behaviour management more closely to make sure children understand why they are being asked to stop certain behaviour
  • support staff to be more vigilant in recognising when children would benefit from adult interaction to encourage their learning and enjoyment further.
