Ofsted Inspection Summary
Sandcastles Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 18 February 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children become deeply involved in activities that interest them. For example, they choose when they want to play in the extensive garden, benefitting those who prefer to learn outdoors. Older children creatively build an obstacle course with beams and crates."
Key strengths
- Staff know their key children well.
- Strategies, such as visual timetables, support young children and those with specific learning needs to have a very good understanding of what is happening…
- Babies become engrossed in sensory activities and explore textures and sounds.
- Children are very familiar with the rules and routines of the setting.
- Adults expertly use their incidental observations and interactions to move children's learning on, helping to develop their skills further.
Areas for improvement
- review how routines are managed so that staff consistently allow children to continue their play and learning uninterrupted
- support staff to recognise how they can build on their already good interactions to further encourage children's independence and self-help skills.
