Our Approach
Under the EYFS we consider the following:
How well our nursery meets the needs of the range of children
We provide regular opportunities for outdoor activities, and these are time-tabled to ensure adult supervision which is essential for children's safety. Children enjoy being active physically. Our outdoor area gives children an exciting opportunity satisfies their curiosity by investigating and exploring their environment.
The contribution of our nursery to the well-being of each individual child
Parents complete an All About Me form enabling staff to see how their child is developing based on their age.
Working from the All About Me form, the Keyworker is then able to plan stimulating activities, formulate a plan for the children, with parental involvement, in order for them to eventually reach their milestone. This is done through observation and monitoring throughout the children’s time at Hephzibah Day Nursery. In this way any under-achievement can be quickly identified and further plans put into place to bring that child back on target.
At Hephzibah Day Nursery we believe in ensuring that our children’s nutritional requirement is well catered for, and to meet the standard we set we have a permanent cook on site who prepares hot nutritional meals for the children, along with various snacks including Tea-time meals throughout the day.
The effectiveness of the leadership/management in our nursery
Hephzibah Day Nursery have a clear directive and have developed an Action Plan to implement a programme of ongoing improvements.
