Ofsted

We recently had our Ofsted inspection which was based on the new statutory framework which was implemented Sep 2012. We are proud to inform you the overall inspection was Good based on the following findings:

. Good relationships exist with parents and their effective ways of seeking their views about their children’s care and the sharing of ideas and activities to promote children’s learning

Children’s creativity is fully enhanced throughout the nursery as the staff provides good opportunities for them to explore different media both indoors and outdoors.

There is strong leadership and management team who provide a clear vision for the future development of the setting. Staffs are well supported and monitored to ensure that good standards are maintained.

Staff has a secure knowledge and understanding of the early Years Foundation Stage and help children to make good progress in their learning. All staff recognises the importance of working with children’s interests and developing individualised planning.

If you would like a copy of the report please ask a member of staff.
