Parents have been left heartbroken and distressed after a nursery in Bristol received a damning Ofsted report. The Honeytree Day Nursery & Pre-school on Filton Road behind Monk's Park was given an 'inadequate' rating after an inspection on May 16.
The nursery - which has 139 children from infancy up to four years old - has fallen from an overall effectiveness rating of ‘good’ since its last full inspection in February 2019. Storal Learning, the group that runs Honeytree, has since confirmed that two senior members of management employed at the time of the inspection no longer work for the nursery.
Concerns were first raised in March 2021 after an allegation about staff interactions with children regarding its safeguarding procedure. Ofsted’s latest report published on June 24 stated that arrangements for safeguarding had not been effective.
