What it's like to attend Leaders understand their responsibilities but do not always apply them effectively to promote children's good health and have not consistently notified Ofsted of significant events. They do not always support staff well enough to deliver consistently good quality of teaching. Many children show positive attitudes and are interested in their play and learning, and staff help them use technology appropriately and enjoy role play. Inspector highlights - Many children show positive attitudes and are interested in their play and learning. - Babies have space to practise new physical skills and staff support them warmly. - Children explore seasonal activities and use their imagination. - Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. - Older children learn about the needs of others and how to understand and manage their own emotions and responses. Areas to develop - 1 Leaders do not always apply their knowledge and understanding of how to promote children's ongoing good health effectively, including nutritional needs, oral health, and consistent access to outdoor areas. Leaders also do not communicate clearly to parents how to support children's good health. - 2 Staff do not always make next steps clear or explain what parents can do at home, so continuity of learning is not maximised. - 3 Staff deployment does not fully support the consistent delivery of the curriculum, and less confident staff do not consistently benefit from colleagues' experiences. - 4 Leaders do not use monitoring to inform focused training and coaching to help staff continually develop their teaching skills, leading to inconsistent quality of practice. - 5 The provider has failed to notify Ofsted of significant events, as required.

[Claim this listing](/claim?nursery=wendy-house-nursery-carlisle-limited-ca2-4ab-317413) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those in receipt of additional funding well. Staff know these children well and understand their individual needs. They work with other agencies to support children and their families. Children make progress from their individual starting points. Outdoor space At times, leaders do not ensure daily access to outdoor areas. Leaders also do not communicate clearly to parents how to support children's good health, which reduces consistency between home and nursery. ## Parent Reviews of Wendy House Nursery (Carlisle) 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJE3sAmFYZ9BWQLI1Dsf4_JWTx4nHmETUCvW3K7h6oBOi3o7Q=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Lesley Turner 3 years ago My children love the huge garden and outside space, it’s great that this is used all year round.
