Good team work helped staff at an Aberdeenshire nursery create a secure and stimulating environment for the children, according to the latest registration inspection reports.
Clever Tots Nursery in Peterhead was found to have very good programmes for all areas of the curriculum, very positive relationships with children and a comprehensive range of policies. The report said, 'The owners and the pre-school manager displayed very good leadership skills and a high level of commitment to the nursery.'
Staff at Pinocchio's Children's Nursery in Dalkeith, Midlothian were also praised for working effectively as a team. All nursery staff have a twice-yearly review and undertake development training. The teacher was found to provide effective support for staff in observation, assessment and planning one day a week. Pre-school children are taken to the local swimming pool once a week and staff had planned a weekly visit from a physical education specialist, provided through the local authority, for a period of six weeks.
