Sefton nursery where children's wellbeing 'compromised' hits back at Ofsted report

The owner of a nursery given the worst possible rating by Ofsted claims it is "unjustified" and slammed the inspection system as "ineffective and inefficient."

Early Days (UK) Ltd on Linacre Road in Bootle was inspected in November by Ofsted, with a report giving the provider an 'inadequate' rating following the visit. In that report, which was released last week, inspectors said failings at the nursery meant "children's health, safety, well-being and learning are significantly compromised."

Inspectors identified a number of breaches, which were noted to have contributing to a "failing to deliver a good level of care and education." Issues around hygiene practices were noted, including instances of staff carrying drinks by putting fingers in the cups without having washed hands.
