St Mary’s Nursery, Camberley

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Since the last inspection, the trustees and the nursery manager have significantly improved evaluation and raised the quality of children's care and learning.

They have acted on advice from the local authority and have developed robust systems to ensure all safeguarding requirements are now met consistently. Staff know the children well, and accurately assess and reduce gaps in their learning and development. Children make good progress.

Staff listen to children, respond to what they say and give them time to talk. Staff ask questions that encourage children to engage in detailed conversations. Children talk confidently about past camping trips and... proudly show staff how they can count up to 49.

Staff work effectively with parents and other agencies to support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The nursery uses funding to provide some children with one-to-one care to meet their individual needs. Children are happy, settled and well behaved.

Staff provide a very inviting and well-organised environment to motivate children to learn and explore, indoors and outdoors. It is not yet outstanding because: Sometimes, staff do not support less-confident children to engage with others and develop their social skills. Staff do not consider enough ways to support fully each child's good health as much as possible.
