Ofsted Inspection Summary

Charters Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 26 May 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are welcomed into this caring environment by managers and all staff. The management team have high expectations of the key-person approach, where staff create strong bonds to support children to feel safe and secure at nursery. Staff build relationships with children and get to know them well to ensure they feel settled and their emotional development needs are met."

Key strengths

  • Children are offered some support in developing their independence.
  • The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) targets intervention for children who may need additional support.
  • Staff share information with parents regularly to discuss the progress children make.
  • The management team supports staff in base rooms and in developing their practice.
  • Parents speak highly of the nursery and feel that staff's communication is excellent.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff to provide more opportunities for children to do things for themselves and become independent in their self-care abilities
  • consider the management of group times and staff deployment during transitions to maintain children's focus and minimise waiting times.
