A nursery in Warwick where ‘children thrive’ is celebrating its second ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted.
Busy Bees Warwick, located on Chase Meadow Square, was praised for developing ‘the closest of bonds with the children they care for’ ensuring that children are ‘extremely happy and settled’.
The team was recognised for embedding a ‘well-designed curriculum’ and planning a ‘wide array of rich opportunities and stimulating activities that motivate children’.
The report highlighted that ‘developing children’s language and communication skills’ are at the heart of everything they do. Staff are also ‘extremely confident about children’s progress and make sure a child is secure in each stage before they move on’.
Ofsted further acknowledged the nursery’s commitment to ‘foster a love of reading’, with each room having a ‘well resourced and inviting reading corner’ and monthly library bus visits, ensuring children are ‘highly engaged’ during story time.
The nursery’s partnership with parents was given a special mention, with parents praising the nursery for helping their children ‘thrive’. Parents feel ‘extremely well informed about their child’s learning and development and how to support them further at home’.
Centre Director Donna Waters and her leadership team were described as ‘exceptional’ and have a ‘clear and ambitious vision for driving continuous improvement’.
Donna said: “We are over the moon with our second Outstanding Ofsted result! I have been here for both inspections, and I feel privileged to see the children join us as babies and leave us ready for school. The team consistently focus on our parent partnerships, ensuring that each child in our care is treated as an individual, with plenty of opportunities to learn.
“We are also the first Busy Bees nursery to achieve an Outstanding with our Bee Curious curriculum which has been designed to spark curiosity and give every child the best start in life. We look forward to continuing to create an engaging environment for children and fostering a lifelong love of learning.”
The report noted staff wellbeing, highlighting that the team has ‘access to designated wellbeing officers’ and ongoing continuous professional development opportunities. In addition, children including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive ‘strong support’.
