A Liverpool nursery forced to close its doors following concerns about children’s safety has turned its fortunes around.
Earlier this year, Ofsted stepped in to shut down Sandfield Park day nursery in West Derby for six weeks after an unannounced inspection and fears being raised about safety. Now, six months on, the North Drive provision has won round the opinion of the education watchdog, securing a good rating - up from its last mark of inadequate.
In its report following a visit in July, Ofsted said the nursery’s newly formed leadership team had “taken swift action to address the concerns that were identified at the last inspection. Staff feel extremely well supported and feel like their well-being is prioritised.”
