‘We are incredibly proud’: Market Harborough nursery celebrates after Ofsted success
A nursery in Market Harborough has been celebrating after getting a positive Ofsted report.
Busy Bees, off Northampton Road, was found to be a ‘strong standard’ for behaviour, attitudes, establishing routines, and children’s welfare and wellbeing.
It met the expected standard in all other areas of assessment.
The inspection earlier this year found the nursery excelled at helping children in its care understand their emotions.
The report stated: “The focus on helping children at all ages and stages of development to understand and manage their emotions is highly impactful.
“Staff use carefully considered strategies, such as introducing puppets, to support children's confidence to express their feelings.”
The inspectors found that children arrive happy to the setting and are greeted by warm and caring staff.
Sarah Krause, centre director at Busy Bees at Market Harborough, said: “We are absolutely thrilled with our Ofsted result!
“It is a wonderful reflection of the dedication our team puts into creating nurturing and positive environments.
“We are incredibly proud to know that the children in our care are exactly where they should be – in a supportive environment where they feel safe, heard and valued.”
Parents and carers shared positive feedback about the nursery.
The report stated: “Parents and carers speak very positively about the nursery and staff. They comment on how well they are supported to ensure that the whole family benefits from the nursery provision.
“For instance, when their circumstances change, staff go out of their way to adapt care for babies and children, and to include them fully and positively in routines and experiences.
The curriculum was also praised by the inspectors.
They said: “They adapt activities for different groups of children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who face other barriers to learning.
“For instance, staff provide words in languages spoken by children at home to promote their self-esteem and sense of self-worth.”
