Whitstabubbles Day Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children have a good range of equipment to use to encourage them to exercise and develop a healthy lifestyle. For example, they enjoy using the swing and walking along the wide and narrow beams to develop strength and practise balancing. • Partnerships with parents are good.

Staff keep parents informed about their children's achievements regularly. They provide parents with information and put on group activities, such as singing and sign language events, to help parents support children's learning at home. • The manager and staff team constantly monitor the effectiveness of the nursery.

They have successfully addressed the action and recommendati...ons from the previous inspection to help improve the service they provide. For instance, staff have undertaken additional training to update their knowledge of health and safety procedures to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. • Children are cared for by a well-established and dedicated team of staff.

The manager effectively deploys staff to ensure children are closely supervised, to help keep them safe and secure. It is not yet outstanding because: • The manager does not critically evaluate the progress children make, to target improvements precisely to provide learning consistently of the highest quality. • The staff do not provide children with the best possible opportunities to explore print when playing in all areas of the nursery to learn that words carry meaning.
