Children confidently explore activities, copying staff actions and making choices during play. Staff listen to children, and positive interactions contribute to good behaviour. Inspector highlights - The management and staff team work well together. Managers consider staff's well-being, and they support and encourage staff to continually reflect on and develop their knowledge and skills. - Staff work effectively with children's parents. They keep parents informed about the activities their children enjoy and how these contribute to their learning. - Staff help children learn to be independent. Two-, three- and four-year-old children choose when they sit down to eat their meals and, with close supervision from staff, they learn to serve themselves. - Overall, children enjoy listening to stories read by the staff. Children's vocabulary and communication skills are developing as they join in with familiar parts of favourite stories. Areas to develop - 1 improve the organisation of large-group activities to ensure that they meet the needs of all children taking part and maintain their interest - 2 ensure that staff provide consistent support for children who speak English as an additional language to fully meet their needs. Inspection #10284486 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50218667) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > how well staff helped their child settle > Parents like the daily communication from staff, so they know about how their child's care routines are managed throughout the day > their children make in relation to their confidence and how they are learning to share and take turns Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child Outdoor space Children who have fewer opportunities to play outdoors benefit from walks to the local park, where they begin to learn about nature and develop their physical skills and stamina. The inspectors observed the quality of education during a variety of activities, inside and outside, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. EAL / language support Overall, children who speak English as an additional language have their home language valued and staff help them to learn English. However, there are some inconsistencies in how well these children are supported. ## Parent Reviews of Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIkqepvOAsxPYyC_xuhgAUlKTcoW1DCdcTv8v6UeXx-uthlgQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) Anon (Lastrega) 2 years ago Great nursery!
