A GOOD result for Tops Poole
Staff and Children at Tops Poole, located on Denmark Lane, are pleased to be celebrating a GOOD rating from Ofsted following their recent inspection.
Tops Poole nursery and preschool are truly passionate about providing a great quality of Early Education and Care for all our children and pride themselves in having a safe, secure and family centred environment.
According to the Ofsted report, ‘Children arrive happy, keen to attend and form warm and trusting relationships with staff. Babies and toddlers benefit from safe and nurturing environments in which they explore and investigate freely. Staff provide reassurance, such as one-to-one cuddles after waking from a sleep and books to read together to help settle in when they arrive. Children behave very well. They are polite, listen when asked and learn to take turns fairly. Staff are good role models who provide calm and consistent guidance according to children’s development level, and help them to learn safe behaviour’.
The report also noted that; ‘Children benefit from a broad curriculum to support their interests and learning goals. There is a strong emphasis on helping children to develop emotional security, resilience, literacy and language. Staff respect children’s preferred style of learning and adapt activities accordingly’.
The inspector said, “Staff know the children well. They monitor their progress accurately from the start, and are clear what they intend children to learn next. Staff are quick to identify when a child is at risk of falling behind. They provide close support and targeted activities to fully include children with any additional needs to help them, and all children, to achieve their potential”.
“Staff help children to develop the skills they need for their future learning and starting school. They have high expectations for children of all ages to achieve good independence and self-confidence. Children learn to use the hand-washing and nose-cleaning stations themselves. Older children serve themselves at meals and learn to change their clothes and manage zips with great pride”.
Shaye, Nursery Manager at Tops Poole, said: “As the Nursery Manager at Tops Poole, I’m incredibly proud to announce our GOOD rating from our recent Ofsted inspection! This achievement reflects the dedication and heart our amazing team brings every day, creating a nurturing environment where each child feels valued and inspired. Our success is thanks to the passion of our staff and the unwavering support of our wonderful families and children, who together make Tops Poole a truly special place. This recognition fuels us to keep raising the bar for quality childcare, and we look forward to many more achievements ahead”!
