Areas to develop
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents comment positively about the care their children receive at the nursery.
They say that staff provide them with lots of information about how their children are progressing.
Also that they get lots of hints and tips on how to support their children's learning at home.
Inclusion & environment
Staff gather detailed information about children's additional needs before they start at the nursery, ensuring a positive transition and appropriate learning opportunities. Leaders work closely with specialist professionals and parents to support children's individual needs, ensuring they receive the best possible support at the earliest point.
Children take managed risks as they challenge themselves by negotiating uneven stepping stones and balance beams when playing outside. This helps to develop their coordination and balance. Children also confidently help themselves to resources and construct obstacle courses when playing outside.
Our two girls have been going here for two days a week over the past few weeks and we've been absolutely thrilled. Kind staff who every single day arrange interesting, stimulating and varied activities. Really light and spacious rooms and good out door play space. Would very happily recommend this nursery.
Read on GoogleWouldn't put any stars of possible but sadly Google makes me add at least 1 to leave a review! I had brought my children to Chillfactore Trafford when Little Angels Staff came in with 6 or so children of different ages..the staff sat down at a table and put 3 of the youngest in the Toddler area and closed the gate and sat approx 30 mtrs away...they chatted and glanced over occasionally! I saw one of the little children get pushed down an incline by another child (not one from the nursery) luckily she was okay and I visually checked to make she wasn't crying and the staff never even saw this incident!!! 2 members of staff then went to order drinks and food and turned their back for around 10 minutes or so in this time I witnessed the smallest child of the group approximately 4years old leave the Toddler area by themselves looking very lost and worried, wandered around for a few minutes and then disappeared out of my eyeline completely!! I jumped up and went to alert the eldest member of staff who without any rush or concern made her way very slowly in the direction I showed her that the child had gone!!!! The child was completely on the opposite side of the building which is extremely large by the time she actually found them!!! The woman seemed cross with the child which is outrageous as surely the only people in the wrong here is the staff!!! I was very concerned when they came in and left the children unsupervised in the toddler area and felt like I personally needed to watch the children as they didnt seem to be concerned at all!!! The member of staff then returned the child to the toddler area and closed the gate and returned to the table yet again!!! If I hadn't of been watching and seen the child leave the area it beggars belief what may have happened!!! After that you think they would of made more effort to safeguard the children but no they were still sitting chatting and on their mobile phones!!! Disgusting!!! There were plenty adults in the Toddler area looking after their own children and keeping them safe, it is completely unacceptable that there wasnt a member of staff in there with the group of very small children doing the same!!!
Read on GoogleTook my daughter out of this nursery In September she was there for about 8/9 months and the place it's self is so out dated and dirty! She was in potty training whilst there and I picked her up to find her in the middle of the room crying her eyes out whilst two members of staff was stood having a good chat with each other ignoring the fact she was upset I instantly walked over and asked her what was wrong she said she needed the toilet and had been left to wee in her knickers, I arranged to speak to the manager one day and was told she's busy so I was left to speak to a member of staff from Phoebes room and was taken into the kitchen to talk about it, my daughter was heart broke when she was left, the toddler room is like being locked in a box it's awful kids would be playing with playdough and a child was upset that he couldn't get the playdough out of the tub and told the member of staff her response was you can get it out yourself and he proceeded to get upset that he couldn't do it so I helped him, these are children at the age of 2 that need the guidance majority of the time the staff would be sat doing nothing none of them would have a smile on their face at all it seemed to me like none of them wanted to be there if your not happy in what your doing then why are you there? I'd picked my daughter up and a few times she'd be wet and no one had checked her or changed her, and apparently they've failed Ofsted, not surprised in the slightest place needs a serious update and the staff need to be 're trained it's as if they've applied with no experience and been welcomed into the job with open arms! No one seemed professional to me in that place at all.
