They adhere to the Early Years Foundation Framework, striving to create a nurturing and cheerful environment that fosters a strong connection between home and nursery life. The team is committed to professionalism and courteousness, aiming to offer the best possible care to children and their families. The nursery emphasises individualised learning and play, working in close partnership with parents and other professionals to support each child's development and experiences. They appoint a dedicated Key Worker for every child to ensure consistent communication with parents. Bright Star Nursery focuses on nurturing each child's unique qualities and potential, with an ethos that promotes positive collaboration with all family members. They pride themselves on having high expectations for children and regularly assess their progress, including those with special educational needs or disabilities, skillfully building upon their learning. What it's like The nursery has recently undergone a period of multiple changes to managers and staff. The current management team is committed, well qualified and experienced. However, although the new manager is able to describe a broad, well-sequenced curriculum intended to promote children's learning, this is not yet delivered consistently by the whole staff team. Most teaching across the nursery is consistently good. Leaders are aware that the weaknesses in some staff's knowledge and interactions mean the quality of education is no longer at an outstanding level. They have clear ambitions to make improvements.
