A Leeds nursery that had previously been rated inadequate twice in less than a year has now turned itself around to earn praise from Ofsted.
Little Gems Early Year Nursery on York Road in Osmondthorpe was awarded a 'good' rating at its inspection on June 13 after months of hard work. It was previously rated inadequate after an inspection in December 2021 at which inspectors flagged issues like staff 'not washing their hands' and safeguarding problems.
The nursery has now restructured its management and put young staff through rigorous training - and its efforts have paid off. Any welfare notices attached from previous inspections have now been lifted after the big changes.
