Brambly Hedge Day Nursery Castleford Ofsted Inspections

Our nursery, like all other nurseries, is regularly inspected by the nurseries’ inspector Ofsted. We are given no warning of the visit, as Ofsted aims to view the nursery under normal operating conditions.

In our last Ofsted (4th November, 2010) we were awarded a ‘GOOD’ overall grading – which we were thrilled about. Below are just a few of the very complementary comments Ofsted wrote about us in their report:-

  • “Children are well cared for in a safe, clean and caring environment.”
  • “Effective staff deployment means that all children are well supervised and supported. There is a good range of toys and resources available throughout the nursery.”
  • “Across all age groups, babies and children are happy and enjoy accessing the child-centred environment; there is good emphasis on child-led activities with colourful age appropriate toys, resources and play areas attractively laid out for them.”
  • “Staff are on hand to support and encourage learning during play; they interact well with children.”
  • “Communication, language and literacy are fostered throughout the nursery.”
  • “Children’s vocabulary is developing well; staff engage children in conversations and listen to children and respond appropriately, encouraging them to think for themselves.”
  • “Children are interested and enthusiastic to learn.”
  • Children “are provided with healthy snacks and meals and learn positive routines of hygiene”
  • “Children’s behaviour is good and staff act as positive role models.”

A full copy of this report can be read on the Ofsted website (www.ofsted.gov.uk). Alternatively, if you come along to the nursery in Castleford, we will give you a paper copy of the report to take away with you.
