All our nurseries are registered with Ofsted who inspect and regulate to achieve excellence in the care of children and young people. Their reports are impartial and during their regulatory visits (once every 3 years) they inspect our settings and ensure that we effectively support our children and deliver the aims of the EYFS framework.

We are happy to discuss the reports with parents and carers and more importantly our subsequent actions, even in the case of outstanding results, to ensure continuous enhancements are made to the services we provide.

In the interests of our Co-operative values of openness and honesty, take a look at what Ofsted say about each of our nurseries….

Children are engaged and interested in their play and learning as routines and activities are well planned to meet their individual needs. The range of activities on offer is varied, which ensures that children are able to make choices for themselves from a variety of play and learning experiences. Behaviour is good as staff have high expectations and set a good example themselves..
