Woodland Adventure Nursery in Golborne is celebrating a Good Ofsted report, which shows that children attending the setting are safe, nurtured and looked after.
Ofsted visited the nursery, on Mono Lodge, Bridge Street, Golborne, on Wednesday, 26 June, and their findings have now been published.
Woodland Adventure Nursery scored Good in all categories, with an overall rating of Good.
Inspectors said: “Leaders provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes children’s emotional well-being.
“They focus on supporting children to be independent and learn fundamental life skills, such as sharing, turn taking and being kind to their friends.”
The report said behaviour was good at the nursery, and that the promotion of communication and language development was a particular strength. The inspector liked the way that “staff sing to children a lot”, helping them develop their vocabulary and become confident to repeat key words and phrases. Ofsted said that staff in the baby room adapted their practive well to support children whose first language is not English.
The report continues: “Staff engage in lovely interactions with children. They ask open-ended questions that promote children’s thinking skills and encourage them to share their own ideas.”
Woodland Adventure Nursery has only been open for four months – replacing the prevous Super Peas Nursery on the same site, which received a damming Ofsted judgement at the beginning of this year, with inspectors saying that there were safety concerns.
So the Good Ofsted judgement for Woodland Adventure Nursery is great news for parents with children at the setting – and for local parents looking for a place for their child.
Laura Littlewood, owner of Woodland Adventure Nursery, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be recognized as “Good” in all areas by Ofsted. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire staff team.
“In just four short months since taking over the nursery, our team has shown remarkable commitment to providing the best possible care and education for our children. We are deeply proud of this recognition and will continue striving to maintain and improve the high standards that have been acknowledged.”
