Ofsted Inspection Summary

Thrive Cotton Lane was inspected by Ofsted on 19 March 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), settle well and are happy at the nursery. This is because of leaders' careful arrangements to enable staff to get to know each child well. Staff focus on meeting individual children's needs and interests."

Key strengths

  • Staff support children's language development well.
  • Staff share a wide range of high-quality fiction and non-fiction books with children.
  • Staff arrange activities to help develop children's physical skills well.
  • Mostly, children behave well.
  • Leaders ensure that children eat a healthy, balanced diet.

Areas for improvement

  • provide greater support for staff so they know how to build children's knowledge of books and stories in a logical order
  • strengthen staff's use of behaviour management strategies so that younger children learn what is expected of them
  • improve the procedures for staff training so that professional development supports staff to improve their practice.
