Ofsted (Offices for Standards in Education)

Here at Cranbrook Independent Nursery & Pre-School we aim to exceed the minimum National Standards set by Ofsted to ensure that we provide the highest quality care and education in early years.

Some quotes taken from recent OFSTED inspections:

ACORN COTTAGE: "Children are happy and eager to play in the nursery. Staff spend time getting to know the children prior to their start and during a gradual settling in period."
BUTTERCUP BARN: "Children are comfortable in their surroundings and enjoy their play. They quickly settle into play as they leave their parents."
ADVENTURERS: "Children arrive happily and demonstrate a confident understanding of the routines, such as hanging up their coats. Staff spend time getting to know the children and helping them to settle."
COSMIC CLUB: " The Cosmic Club provides a wide range of activities, resources and experiences which support children's learning across the curriculum. Staff skilfully support children's emotional development by making them feel secure and valued."
CLOVER COURT: "Staff use early information from parents to assess children's capabilities and to plan a meaningful range of experiences to promote children's next steps in learning."
IVY COTTAGE: "Children spend considerable time playing outdoors in the well- resourced natural environment. Consequently, they show good independence and a strong exploratory approach during their play."
