We are pleased to announce that our latest Ofsted inspection, which took place in October, graded our supportive early years provision, communication with parents and effective safeguarding arrangements as ‘Good.’ 

The report recognised that our “partnerships with parents are a key strength of the setting”. We pride ourselves on ensuring that parents receive regular information about their child’s development and are encouraged to support the ongoing learning of their child at home, so we were proud to see this noted in the report. 

Ofsted also gave great credit to our dedicated staff members and recognised both their attentiveness to children’s needs and their deep understanding of child development.  

As a Nursery, we aim to create a home-from-home early years setting and are pleased to see Ofsted recognizes the good quality of our overall provision. 

“We are absolutely delighted to receive a ‘Good’ rating in our latest Ofsted report,” said Jacqueline Holford, Nursery Manager at Loughborough Nursery. “This result is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff, who did indeed place children at the heart of everything they do. I am immensely proud of each and every one of my staff; their dedication to the children in their care and their teamwork has been commendable and I am truly grateful to work alongside such a talented group. We strive to create a nurturing, stimulating environment where each child feels valued and supported, and it’s wonderful to see that commitment reflected in this report. We look forward to building on this success and continuing to provide an excellent foundation for our children’s growth and development.” 

It is also fantastic to see parents within our Nursery community strongly agreeing with the Ofsted report. Former Nursery parent, Stella, reflected on her and her child’s experience: “Your consistent, encouraging and positive reassurances, feedback and support throughout his time in the Nursery have been a beacon of light”. 

We couldn’t be prouder of our experienced Nursery team who have all played their part in making the Nursery the wonderful environment that it is today.
