Inspection #10270019 · Source: Ofsted View full Ofsted report (https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50209041) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > Parents explain how they use the online system to exchange information about their children's learning and development at home and at nursery. > Parents comment positively about the friendly and caring staff and about the guidance and support that they receive. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are very well supported. Managers and staff complete training and research and work closely with parents. They effectively identify gaps in children's learning and know when to seek early intervention and how to involve external agencies, considering individual needs and using funding to enhance the environment and resources accordingly. Outdoor space Children have many opportunities to play outside. Older children access a variety of resources and enjoy the exercise. However, there are too few opportunities for the youngest children as most of the space and resources available are not suitable for babies and younger children. ## Google Reviews of Bright Kids Barley Lea 5.0 (7 Google reviews) Courtney Tyler Baldwin 4 years ago Absolutely amazing nursery, my son went there for a year and a half and loved every second of it, the staff are wonderful and it's so sad for it to be suddenly closed like this, best of luck everyone!
