A Kirkstall Road-based nursery is ‘dedicated’ to ensuring children’s safety and well-being, an Ofsted inspector has said.
Bright Horizons Leeds Day Nursery And Preschool in Burley has been rated as ‘good’ for its the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership. It had been classed as ‘outstanding’ at its last inspection in 2019.
Inspectors noted that leaders and staff were dedicated to ensuring children’s safety and well-being.
“For example, staff use a mascot to help children to learn about how to keep themselves safe,” the report noted.
“They share information with parents and carers about online safety. This supports children to learn how to be safe both in and out of the nursery.”
The report adds staff build positive relationships with the children that they care for. “They spend time getting to know children’s likes, dislikes and interests. This supports children to become self-assured and happy learners.”
There was also praise for staff’s “regular assessments of children’s progress” and for the support for children with special educational needs (SEND).
In terms of areas for improvement, the report adds: ““The provider should review the organisation and deployment of staff during settling-in sessions for new children, to ensure that all children’s learning and care needs continue to be met at these times.”
