News » Flying Start @ Cornwall College's Ofsted report is 'OUTSTANDINGLY GOOD!'

Flying Start @ Cornwall College has just received their Ofsted report  and they did outstandingly well!

The Manager, Sarah and her team were judged OUTSTANDING in two areas 'the effectiveness of partnerships' and 'the effectiveness of the setting’s engagement with parents and carers.'

Overall they received GOOD, and were also consistently GOOD in every other single judgement, they are so proud as the standard pass is SATISFACTORY!

Here are some extracts from the report :

'The excellent relationships between adults, parents and children are a key strength of this setting. As a result, children feel confident that they are well cared for.'

'The nursery is warm and welcoming for children and their family. Children benefit from a well-resourced and enabling indoor and outdoor environment.'

'Partnerships with parents and other early years providers are exceptionally effective. Excellent levels of information are regularly shared verbally.'

'Recent plans to encourage the involvement of fathers and grandparents have proved highly successful. As a result, the setting is fully inclusive in their practice.'

'Recently improved assessment systems are shared regularly with parents, in order to celebrate children's achievements and to identify appropriate 'next steps' for their learning and development.'

'Parents are encouraged to complete their own observations at home and some have already provided excellent assessments which are used to inform future planning for their children's learning.'

'Children enter the setting enthusiastically and separate from their parent easily. They follow the good examples set by staff and are polite, kind and helpful. They demonstrate good social skills and are well mannered.'

'Babies are curious, inquisitive and confident to explore the indoor and outdoor environment independently.'

'Regular opportunities for nature walks, visits to their associated forest school and use of the college campus facilities, promote an understanding of the local community. Recent projects about the fire brigade and construction work were enhanced further as the fire engine and concrete mixer came to visit the nursery.'

'Children are skilful in their use of programmable and interactive toys and computer equipment. They are involved in recycling and have recently grown their own fruit and vegetables to cook and eat.'
