Ofsted report says Tiddlywinks Nursery at Ormskirk is 'good'

THE report just published by Ofsted of their inspection of Tiddlywinks Nursery has declared the quality and standards of care and of nursery education are 'good'.  The inspection, which took place in November last year, looked at 5 different areas:-

- helping children to be healthy

- protecting children from harm or neglect and helping them stay safe

- helping children achieve well and enjoy what they do

- helping children make a positive contribution

- organisation

In each of these areas the report says the provision was good.

Julie Walsh, Manager of Tiddlywinks said of the report:- "We are very please with this report, particularly as we only opened in the current premises in July last year. It is encouraging to read, for example, that the inspectors think the environment is welcoming and safe, bright and exciting.  It is always difficult when you move from one premises to another to continue to provide the same level of care and education, but all the staff have worked extremely hard to maintain standards and this has now been recognised."

The report recognises that relationships between staff and children are good which contributes to the children's well-being and that there is an effective key worker system that ensures the children are cared for by familiar adults. The quality of teaching and learning are said to be good and that the children are making good progress and have a positive attitude to learning.  The report goes on to say that the children are relaxed and confident in their environment due to the effective organisation of their care and learning. Space is well laid out and care is taken to ensure that children receive a wonderful range of indoor and outdoor play opportunities.  Of the staff, the report says they act as good role models and that they are calm and gentle in their own approach. The staff regularly encourage and praise the children and this makes them feel good about themselves.

The report also praises the partnership between the staff and parent and carers.

Company survey reveals shocking statistics about virtual sex

VIRTUAL sex is big news in 2008 with the revelation that 34% of 25 to 30 year old UK women have used their mobile phone to make a DIY mini-porn video.  A Cyber Sex survey by Company Magazine has uncovered racy statistics that prove UK women are more than happy to embrace technology as a sex aid. In fact the popularity of social networks such as Facebook, YouTube and MySpace, has launched a new wave of ‘high-tech sex drives’, says the magazine.

Of the 1000 women surveyed by Company Magazine, the following statistics were revealed:-

83% admitted to sending a sexy text (hopefully to the right recipient)

66% took ‘rude’ photos on their mobile phone

64% confessed to online sex talk (Facebook, MSN, My Space)

52% had full text sex

43% had full online cyber sex

34% used their mobile phone to make a DIY mini-porn video

31% had sex via a webcam

21% had sex in real life with someone they’d met online

Company’s Editor Victoria White says:- “This research is liberating, fresh and a sign of the times. It’s great to see women are embracing technology and becoming increasingly more confident with their own sex lives. However, Company Magazine prides itself on giving good advice to readers and while cyber sex allows women to experiment sexually, we do want to remind our readers that safe sex is of paramount importance.”

The Cyber Sex survey was conducted via Company’s website and formed part of the magazine’s Biggest Ever Sex Survey special. 

Full details can be found in the April issue of Company Magazine, dated Thursday, 28 February 2008.
