Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
'It's a wonderful place to work.'
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are exceptionally well supported. Staff have clear support plans in place to ensure that children are making good progress in their development. Staff act swiftly on any delay in a child's development and ensure there are measures in place while they wait for referrals. Staff work closely with the local authority to ensure children get the right help at the right time.
Children have formed friendships and play games together in the garden. For example, when children play with the balls and kick the ball into the goal, they celebrate their victory together.
My son Yusuf has been attending Castle Keep for a year now. Since English is not his first language and he is very young, we were worried about how he would express himself. From the very beginning, Pam gave us great confidence, and all the staff have always been warm, caring, and dedicated. Castle Keep is the only place I can send my son without any worries until he starts Reception. It is clean, welcoming, and run by a wonderful team who truly love their job. Thank you so much for greeting my son every morning with kindness and a big smile.
Read on GoogleAbsolutely amazing preschool. Both my Grandsons have attended Castle Keep (youngest finishes tomorrow as off to "big school"). They have both been so happy and well looked after there. I always felt/feel boys are safe when there. It's a lovely clean place with lots of fun things to do and a great outdoor area but most of all, all the staff are fantastic and so caring. (Also very hard working which was especially evident at the end of year family picnic in park yesterday which we all enjoyed!!) Thank you SO MUCH. You're all BRILLIANT
Read on GoogleCastle Keep Nursery has been an absolute gem for our family! From the very first day, the staff made us feel completely at ease with their warm, friendly, and professional approach. It’s clear they’re passionate about what they do, and it shows in the way they care for and support every child. Our little one has blossomed since starting at Castle Keep. The nurturing environment, structured learning through play, and thoughtful routines have really helped build confidence, independence, and social skills. Every day is filled with creative activities, outdoor play, and engaging learning experiences—our child is always excited to go in the morning and full of stories by pick-up time! The nursery itself is safe, clean, and beautifully maintained, with a lovely balance of indoor and outdoor spaces. We truly feel like part of a community at Castle Keep Nursery. The team goes above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention they provide. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive, enriching, and joyful environment for their child.
Read on GoogleCastle Keep Preschool has been such a special part of our lives over the past three years. Both of my girls have flourished there, and it's all thanks to the incredible team of staff. They’re not just helpful and caring — they go above and beyond to nurture, support, and prepare each child for the next big step into school. The level of care, patience, and dedication they've shown has been truly heartwarming. Knowing my girls were in such safe, loving hands gave me so much peace of mind. Castle Keep will always hold a very special place in my heart for the way they’ve looked after, guided, and encouraged my daughters. I honestly couldn’t thank them enough.
Read on GoogleCastle Keep is an incredible preschool. I was really nervous and hesitant to send my child into childcare when I needed to return to work, but i cannot fault the setting at all. My child is thriving and learning new life skills every day! The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and have put both myself and my child at complete ease from day one! Tracie is my child’s keyworker and is absolutely adored by my daughter, along with all other members of staff, which my child speaks very fondly of! I have and will continue to recommend Castle Keep to all friends and family!
