Last month, the Family Space Nursery in Cheltenham was inspected by Ofsted, and they have just received the results in March. In the report, the Nursery was rated ‘Good’, stating that:

“Children, parents and visitors are greeted warmly at the door by friendly staff at this setting. Children enter happily and greet their friends eagerly. They develop strong relationships with staff. Children receive extensive praise and encouragement.

The staff and Manager of Family Space preschool, Millie Barnes, are very pleased with the result, which has shown the hard work they have put into making the Family Space Nursery such a welcoming environment for young children.

“One thing we work incredibly hard on here, and it was really lovely to see it recognised in the report, was our curriculum, how we enable them to learn, and how we tailor it to suit the needs of the children.

The report goes on to praise the Nursery for the opportunities that the children have to involve in physical play with a large obstacle course available, helping children to develop their coordination and core muscles.

“Children are highly engaged during this activity. They use their imagination and say, ‘The floor is water with sharks in. I need to balance. We are coming to save you.’ Children work together as a team to save each other, laughing and giggling as they do so. Children are kind to each other and behave very well.”

Notably, the inspector remarked that the Family Space Nursery in Cheltenham had effective arrangements for safeguarding the children, being aware of the different scenarios in which a child may be at risk and how to keep that child safe.

Since the inspection, the team has started to implement the suggestions in the report and is keen to go above and beyond in their delivery of early years education.
