A Rochdale nursery has completed an ‘amazing’ turnaround after being rated ‘inadequate’ by Ofsted following an inspection earlier this year. Small World Nurseries, in Castleton, is now officially classed as ‘good’ after officials returned to see how much improvement had been made since their last visit.
A newly published report praises managers for developing a ‘well-thought-out curriculum, which has 'a positive impact on children's learning and development’. The nursery is described as having ‘high expectations’ for every child, with the report noting that this is reflected ‘in their continuing progress and development’.
Staff are also said to be aware of the impact Covid has had on some children and 'use this knowledge to focus on communication and language development and personal, social and emotional skills'. Inspectors also found that ‘staff work hard to promote children's confidence and ability to make choices’.
