Camrose Early Years Centre for Children & Families

Overview

Camrose Early Years Centre provides an education of a "strong standard" across all inspected areas, including achievement, attendance, curriculum, inclusion, leadership, and personal development. The report describes a "happy and harmonious" setting where children "thrive in a highly caring and supportive environment" and are "very well-prepared for new opportunities and challenges" upon leaving.

Strengths

• Leaders have designed a curriculum with "meticulous care" that is "suitably ambitious" and prepares children well for the next stage of their education.
• Staff deliver teaching with "great skill," using "high-quality interactions" and "teachable moments" to extend children’s knowledge and skills.
• The school’s understanding of individual needs is "second to none," with staff expertly adapting support for vulnerable children and those with special educational needs.
• Attendance is high due to "clear systems" and "well-considered and timely support" provided to parents to remove barriers.
• Children develop "positive attitudes to their learning," demonstrating "curiosity and resilience" in a safe and respectful environment.

Areas to improve

• Leaders should ensure that "newly appointed, or less experienced staff, develop the same advanced skills to enhance children's learning and play as more experienced staff."

Safeguarding

The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns being "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
