Dreamers Nest Montessori Early Learning Centre

"A project-based approach to programme planning supports positive outcomes for children. It establishes a good framework for children's individual and group learning. Teachers use children's strengths, interests and abilities to inform planning for future learning. Observational information is well used to build a picture of what the children know, understand, are interested in, and can do. It is used effectively to plan children's learning pathways."

Project-based planning and observation-informed assessment demonstrated; areas for strengthening identified.

"The centre is well led. Leaders and staff demonstrate a strong commitment to the philosophy and vision of the centre to provide high quality childcare. They implement effective evaluation and promote a culture of ongoing improvement. Policies and procedures are well established. They are aligned to current best practice and effectively guide the centres daily operations and ongoing development."
