View our reportPlease find below a summary of our OFSTED report findings. Green Roots continues to lead by example and offers an exceptional learning environment for children to grow and thrive in.
Leaders and staff provide a broad curriculum that focuses on children’s interests. Children happily make choices and have fun as they engage in their play. Mathematical language is woven through everyday play. The nursery is rich in numbers, shapes and mathematical opportunities. Toddlers delight when staff burst into song and dance. Older children are imaginative as they confidently make up stories. This encourages a love of reading and extends children’s vocabulary.
Children are happy to attend this welcoming nursery. They show that they feel safe and secure as they play. Children are deeply engaged in their self-selected activities. Children behave well. They show kindness towards each other. Older children ask their friends if they need help when they spill their drink. Staff give children constant praise for their achievements. This helps children to develop positive attitudes to learning.
Partnerships with parents are good. They speak positively about the setting and the relationships that children have with staff. Parents gain daily updates about their child’s day. They receive photographs of their learning and development on online platforms. This keeps parents informed about the activities that children are doing at nursery so they can extend this learning at home.
Children enjoy plenty of fresh air and physical exercise. There are ample opportunities for children to strengthen their muscles. For example, babies use equipment to pull themselves up into a standing position. Toddlers enjoy chasing bubbles and learn how to ride bikes. Older children test out their physical abilities on different balancing and climbing equipment.
“Staff create an extremely welcoming and nurturing environment. Children receive excellent emotional support. For example, babies and toddlers enjoy seeing photographs of themselves and their peers to help them to form strong bonds and a clear sense of belonging.”
