The report further highlights the nursery’s commitment to individualized learning and development. It states: “Staff know children well and pay attention to children’s individual interests to ensure they are reflected in what they provide.

She also said key people work hard to get to know children’s families, which helps staff share information, build links and provide continuity of care for children. While the inspection report highlights the nursery’s strengths, it also identifies areas for improvement.

The report suggests that daycare should focus on improving children’s communication and language development by giving them enough time to process information and answer questions. In addition, the report recommends providing a consistently high-quality and challenging literacy curriculum, maximizing resources to support children’s literacy development.

North Street Nursery places a strong emphasis on the safety and well-being of children. The report states: “Staff assess risks effectively and teach children how to keep themselves safe. For example, staff plan risky play activities for children, such as hammering nails into wood, and teach children how to balance while walking on wobbly wooden planks.”

Chief Operating Officer Adam Llewellyn said: “The recent Ofsted inspection provides a result that reflects the continued efforts of the whole team, in a very busy community nursery with a full waiting list, North Street Nursery continues to invest in up-to-date resources and a renovation this year to maintain the highest standards our parents have come to expect.”
