The Little Bears nursery are registered under Ofsted as a provider of early year’s childcare.

Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, children’s Services and Skills. They inspect services providing education and skills for learners of all ages. They also inspect and regulate services that care for children and young people.

We are very pleased to confirm we achieved Good in all areas of our Ofsted report. We would like to highlight a few quotes from the report: ‘Children benefit from the warm and welcoming environment. They are confident to approach staff for comfort and reassurance.’ At the Little Bears nursery, we believe it to be very important for the children to feel comfortable around others whereby it be children or adults in order to increase their social interactions and development. Ofsted also state that at The Little Bears: ‘Staff make the most of the rural location of the nursery and all the children have daily outdoor play opportunities in the fresh air.’ We believe it is essential to optimise the area around us to ensure the children can not only have fun but simultaneously learn about the environment and how we can make greener choices.

We are happy to be recognised for the strength and the quality of the provision, and also believe inspections and guidelines are a vital part of our self-evaluation and improvement. At the same time, we believe that the spirit of a setting cannot be captured through a few hours of formal observation. For us, this is reflected in the valuable feedback we receive through parents, children and all the stakeholders involved. 

We would love for you to read through our first Ofsted report  inspection which took place on Tuesday 28th May 2019, where we were awarded a Good Provider rating. 

We would like to thank you all for your ongoing support and trusting relationship with us. We will continue to do our best to make Little Bears a loving, nurturing and safe environment for all and cannot do this without your valuable feedback and views.
