Press release from: Tops Day Nurseries
A GOOD result for Tops Day Nurseries Yeovil
Staff and Children at Tops Yeovil are pleased to be celebrating a GOOD rating from Ofsted following their recent inspection.
According to the Ofsted report, Children are motivated to learn. Toddlers show interest in books. They listen well to the rhyming story and predict what number will come next. Staff demonstrate the number with their fingers, helping children to represent them with their fingers and to recite numbers in sequence.
The report also noted that; Babies form close bonds with familiar adults who meet their individual care needs efficiently. Babies check in regularly with staff, who provide reassurance. They are cuddled close when they feed, and staff stay close and encourage them to self soothe as they fall to sleep. Children have good emotional security, especially as they move on to new rooms. Staff use effective arrangements to ensure key people share information such as healthcare plans, interests and next steps to enable children to settle quickly.
The inspector said; ‘Staff know children well and use their current interests and individual patterns of learning to plan enticing environments and experiences. Staff make good use of their regular observations to provide children with a broad range of experiences, which builds on children's knowledge and what they need to learn next. Observations build up over time and reflect children's good progress from their starting points’.
Katie Parrish, Nursery Manager at Tops Yeovil said “I am so proud of the whole team at tops Yeovil for their hard work and dedication, they show this on a day to day basic by forming strong bonds with every child in our setting and this was seen by the inspector.
I feel honoured to be the manager and to be able to get to know all the wonderful children, parents and staff who attend my setting”.
