Ofsted

  

Our nursery has been operating since January 2005 and has gone from strength to strength thanks to the amazing team we have in-setting and those supporting us ‘behind the scenes’.


We were incredibly proud to receive an Outstanding grading from Ofsted in March 2015! 

As you will see from our latest full Ofsted report, in November 2019 we were graded Requires Improvement which was a huge disappointment to everyone involved with the setting. 

However, we picked ourselves up, dusted off our superhero capes and carried on, with even more determination to show that we are truly dedicated to promoting the care, education and wellbeing of our precious little ones.

Instead of seeing the judgement as a negative, we reflected on every aspect of our nursery and made some changes to how we do what we do, so that we can ensure the very best outcomes for the children we care for.


Some improvements we made include:

  • · Communication with Ofsted in terms of our committee. We have a solid team of volunteers that make up our committee who all have been DBS and Ofsted approved.
  • · Communication between the team of staff has improved; we have a buddy system in place so that each child spends time with a member of staff that they know and feel comfortable with. Staff share information with their ‘buddy’ so that the development of each child can be supported appropriately and challenged to encourage them to take their next steps.
  • · Spending quality time with the children enables the key person to really tune in to their interests, needs, likes and dislikes, and staff use their knowledge to enhance and extend the child’s learning in-the-moment.


On 16th October 2020 we had an interim Ofsted visit; this was due to inspections being suspended during the Coronavirus Pandemic. The inspector was satisfied that we have made changes to meet the recommendations and this is published in the latest report.


We are looking forward to Inspections resuming so that we can show Ofsted that we truly are Outstanding!
