The Teepee Day Nursery

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is outstanding • Since the last inspection, the provider and the new manager and their staff team have worked incredibly hard to maintain the high standards. All those working within the nursery are dedicated and passionate about what they do, and totally committed to providing the very best learning experiences, irrespective of age or ability, for all children. • Partnerships with parents are superb.

Staff are very successful in engaging parents in their children's learning. Parents are highly complimentary about the service provided. They value the excellent advice, feedback and support they receive.

A parent comments, 'The nursery staff provide me with ...excellent feedback and ideas to help me to support my child's learning at home.' • The quality of teaching is consistently excellent. Staff see every moment as a potential learning opportunity and make the very best use of these to enhance children's potential to gain further knowledge and skills.

As a result, all children make rapid progress. • The excellent and robust tracking systems in place help all staff and leaders to identify any gaps in children's learning. For example, group tracking highlighted that some boys were not as confident in some areas of learning, such as mathematics.

The leaders identified specific training in this area and the impact shows that all of the boys are now achieving at a higher level. Gaps are identified very early on and closed swiftly. • Opportunities for children's outdoor learning are truly awe inspiring.

They flourish when exploring the vast outdoor areas and demonstrate a superb knowledge and understanding of the natural world. For example, they visit the 'little forest school' area daily where children find bugs and creatures and make men out of sticks they collect. Young children sleep outside in the open air, weather permitting.
