Ofsted Inspection Summary
The Friendly Fish Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 24 September 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children settle quickly in the nursery, where there is a clear community atmosphere. The kind and caring staff team makes good use of local amenities to enhance children's experiences. For example, they visit the beach and have discussions with the lifeguard and also go fruit picking, taking their harvest back to the nursery to bake with the chef."
Key strengths
- Staff seek information from parents about what children know, understand and can do.
- Leaders create an effective working environment where staff morale is good and there is a clear team ethos.
- Staff have a clear understanding of what each child needs to learn next, and they use this during their interactions with them.
- Staff encourage children to develop a love of books from a young age.
- Partnerships with parents are good.
Areas for improvement
- build on the sequence of learning to enhance children's independence skills even further
- strengthen staff's awareness of the importance of young children's ability to view staff's facial movements to enhance their early communication skills.
