What is Ofsted?

Ofsted stands for the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills, and is a UK government body that inspects and regulates educational institutions, including other childcare providers on the Childcare Register.

For each inspection, Ofsted produces reports which are available to the public and assess the quality of education, care, and overall effectiveness of school provision and nursery settings on the Early Years Register.

Many families use these inspections reports to help make informed decisions about what childcare provision or education setting they would like to send their child to, covering from early years to A Level education.

You can even get report alerts for your child’s education setting from the Ofsted website!

Child-led reading

The nursery and preschool encourage all children to develop a love for books and stories.

The report states, “Children have ample opportunity to choose books to look at independently or with staff.” This combined with staff eager to join in and show an interest in the books they have chosen.

This approach is a big part of the nursery’s daily routine, ensuring that each child has the opportunity to explore their interests and expand their understanding through stories and imaginative play.

Effective leadership and management

Kiddi Caru Colchester, Essex has a strong leadership team where they have “a clear and ambitious vision for the setting that is shared with the team”, ensuring that the nursery is always prepared for a fun and engaging day for the children and taking the right steps to improve.

Whether it’s a normal day or if Ofsted will inspect without notice, the level of care never changes!

The team strive to deliver high-quality care and education, and work with the local authority to seeks out relevant training opportunities.

Strong parent partnerships

The relationship between the nursery and parents is really strong, which provides the very best foundations for each and every child.

According to the inspectors, “Parents speak positively about the setting and report their children are happy to attend.” Parents also say how well their children have developed since starting at the nursery.

Jo Allen, Nursery Manager at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in Colchester Essex, says…

“I’m absolutely thrilled with our ‘Good’ rating from our Ofsted inspection!

Just as it’s important to conduct an inspection of newly registered providers, it’s just as important to inspect long-standing childcare providers to ensure they are maintaining a high-standard of care.

Not only does this result reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team, but showcases how passionate we are about creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can thrive.

I want to thank my whole team and our nursery families who have made this result possible.”
