STAFF at a Bulford nursery are celebrating an outstanding report from Ofsted The Haig Day Nursery has been praised for its “dedicated, professional staff” who provide excellent care in a glowing report that has just been published.

The inspector noted that “the commitment and dedication demonstrated by the whole nursery team enable them to offer an outstanding standard of care to all children”. The report said: “Children excel in the excellent care of the sensitive adults who clearly enjoy their relationships with children and their families and all areas of the nursery are used to create a rich plethora of exciting, worthwhile and stimulating activities to extend, encourage and challenge children’s learning.”

Nursery manager Catherine Clifton said: “We are so proud of this result. The staff team of 22 has worked very hard over the past two years to examine every aspect of practice.

“We believe that what children experience and learn in their earliest years has an enormous impact on how they learn later in life so it is really important to get it right for them at the beginning. Children need and deserve the best so that is what we have aimed for. We are so happy that this has been recognised.”

The report said children feel safe, secure and have a strong sense of belonging and the uniqueness of each child is recognised and supported. Staff value diversity and are highly successful in ensuring that children’s individuality is recognised and they are achieving to their full potential.

The nursery is registered for 70 full time day care places and is open for 51 weeks of the year. For more information call Catherine Clifton on 01980 632743 or email haig@tnbearlyyears.org.
