Staff provide a range of activities mainly linked to prime areas of learning, ensuring children gain necessary skills for their next learning steps. Inspector highlights - Children feel safe and secure because the staff spend time with them during their play and explorations, encouraging them through positive language and facial expressions to choose freely and to try out new experiences. - Children are learning about the expectations for behaviour because the staff are good role models and make sure they take time to explain to them about being kind and thoughtful to others. - Children are learning to be independent. For example, the staff encourage them to find their coats and to put their own shoes on before playing outside, they know where the tissues are kept and put them in the bin after wiping their nose, and they know the routine for washing their hands before meal times. - Good relationships with parents help children to make progress, as staff work hard to ensure there is a joint approach to children's learning and promote the importance of the home learning environment. - Children enjoy playing outside and they benefit from being able to have free-flow between the inside and outside areas. They are confident to explore the sand, scooping it up in the variety of containers or with their hands and carrying it about with them, watching it fall from their hands. - When children reach the age of three, they are well prepared for their transition into the foundation unit of the main school. They take part in activities within the school, such as physical play and games in the school hall. They go for visits into the foundation unit, both with the nursery staff and with their parents, to meet the teachers, and the teachers come to spend time in the nursery unit. - The children are safe because the staff are vigilant in their supervision and they respond to each child's individual needs. - The nursery is recently established and the staff work very hard to provide good levels of care and learning to the children in their care. They have implemented reflective practice and have made some changes to their procedures and activity. - Parents are highly complementary about their own and their child's experiences at the nursery. They comment on how friendly and approachable the staff are and how willing they are to work closely with them. - This contributes to children being safe and provided with a good range of activities that help them to continue to make good progress. Areas to develop - 1 Expand children's experiences of natural play materials to enhance their learning about the world and different textures by, for example, providing a wide range of natural resources, such as pebbles, fruit and pine cones. - 2 Extend self-evaluation through careful monitoring, analysis and self-challenge to ensure that priorities for future plans continue to support children's achievements.

Well-targeted next steps are identified for each child around specific areas of learning and activities, and staff use the Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage guidance effectively. Outdoor space Children enjoy playing outside and they benefit from being able to have free-flow between the inside and outside areas. They are confident to explore the sand and staff support their physical skills when they move between grassy areas, soft play, and decked areas. The staff regularly take them for walks in the village, for example, to the florist shop. ## Frequently asked about Whitehall School Nursery ### How many places does Whitehall School Nursery have? ### How does Whitehall School Nursery support children with SEND? ### What are the main strengths of Whitehall School Nursery? ### What is Whitehall School Nursery working on developing? ### Whereabouts is Whitehall School Nursery? ## Nearby day nurseries in HUNTINGDON Other Ofsted-registered day nurseries close to Whitehall School Nursery. - [ Ofsted: Good 1.0 mi ### Silks Farm Nursery School and Preschool Huntingdon · PE28 3ET ](/nursery/silks-farm-nursery-school-and-preschool-pe28-3et-2638123) - [ Ofsted: Good 1.8 mi ### Brambles Childcare Huntingdon · PE28 3NY ](/nursery/brambles-childcare-pe28-3ny-ey560545) - [ Ofsted: Good 2.5 mi ### Earith PreSchool 7 Huntingdon · PE28 3QB ](/nursery/earith-preschool-7-pe28-3qb-221818) - [ Awaiting first inspection 2.8 mi ### Meadow View Farm Day Nursery Huntingdon · PE28 2XR ](/nursery/meadow-view-farm-day-nursery-ltd-pe28-2xr-2801109) - [ Ofsted: Good 4.2 mi ### Kindred St.Ives St. Ives · PE27 5JL 5.0(10 reviews) ](/nursery/kindred-st-ives-pe27-5jl-ey304740) - [ Ofsted: Good 4.7 mi ### Little Hens Childcare Over · CB24 5NB ](/nursery/little-hens-childcare-ltd-cb24-5nb-2672062) [See all nurseries in HUNTINGDON →](/search?q=HUNTINGDON) ### Are you the owner of this nursery?
