Established in 2012, Bright Beginnings Nursery was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in its latest inspection on 18th July 2022. " The nursery continually reflects on its practices; a recent development includes a separate outdoor area for babies, providing younger children with continuous access to outdoor learning. While the curriculum is ambitious and children generally make good progress, the nursery is working to strengthen its approach to ensure all children's abilities and developmental needs are consistently met, particularly in group activities. Staff also support children in learning about diverse experiences, including those of friends who speak English as an additional language, by learning key words to aid communication and foster a sense of inclusion. Children at Bright Beginnings Nursery demonstrate good behaviour, learn "golden rules," and develop strong social skills through friendly interactions and respectful communication. What it's like Children enter the nursery with ease, feeling safe and secure due to the warm and welcoming staff.

Therefore, some children do not benefit as much as others. Outdoor space Staff have recently developed a separate outdoor area for babies. Younger children now have continuous access to the outdoors, with greater opportunities to explore and extend their learning. ## Parent Reviews of Bright Beginnings Nursery 5.0 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIhSf-scUBmRgRhx5Yr1SeK_GsIEeDd-m8GdObM-JiK0hqIAg=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) Mark Cooper a year ago Great nursery with very friendly staff who have helped my grandchildren so much.
