Teddington nursery receives Second Outstanding Ofsted report

Bright Horizons Teddington Cedar Road Day Nursery and Preschool in London has been rated ‘Outstanding’ for the second time following its most recent inspection. The report praises the practitioners for providing the best possible care and education for all children.

The nursery received its inspection on July 3rd, with all categories passing with the ‘Outstanding’ status. Ofsted report on four key categories; quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership management. The inspection was carried out through a variety of tasks including staff and parent interviews and observational activities. Comments from the report included:

  • “Staff's curriculum ignites a passion for learning in children. They do an excellent job of nurturing children's curiosity and imagination. Children have first-hand experiences of caring for other living things and meeting people in the community.”
  • “Recent training has enabled staff to learn more about children's brain development. This has, in turn, helped them to understand better how and why certain behaviours manifest in children. Staff are much calmer, which teaches children to develop empathy and care for each other.”

  • “Staff's curriculum is comprehensive which provides each child with a rich learning experience. They plan activities with clear educational intentions in mind. Children interact with members of the community to learn about diversity and unique qualities of people around them.”
  • “Children have plenty of time to test, practise and repeat new skills to consolidate their learning. They are very happy and consistently demonstrate strong levels of motivation.”
