Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents feel valued and appreciate the 'nurturing approach' of the manager and staff.
Parents comment that they would relish even more ideas on how to support their children's learning at home.
Inclusion & environment
Staff have a good knowledge of their key children and identify their needs quickly. They support families to access the relevant agencies and make referrals when needed, ensuring children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those with additional needs receive appropriate support in a timely manner. Staff are passionate about supporting children with SEND to reach their full potential, implementing intervention groups to help them develop communication, listening, and attention skills.
Children enjoy outdoor play, exploring sand and soil, and engaging in climbing wall and balance beam activities. However, the curriculum is not as well thought out for those children who prefer to learn outdoors, meaning they do not have consistent access to a wide range of meaningful and purposeful experiences when playing outside.
We are so grateful to Purple Bees for the incredible year our daughter has spent there. She joined when she was just one, and in that time she has grown in ways we never imagined. Her language development amazes us every day, as does her confidence and the way she interacts so happily with other children. Purple Bees provides such a safe, nurturing environment, and the support staff genuinely care. They really engage with the children, and our daughter developed a lovely bond with the team; I know she will miss them deeply. The range of activities offered is fantastic. She loves singing songs, exploring, and getting involved in all the creative, stimulating experiences they set up. I’ve especially appreciated the regular updates on Famly and the thoughtful observations from the team, which help me understand where she is in her developmental journey. The nursery also does a wonderful job of keeping families informed through their lovely newsletter. They truly embrace cultural celebrations and events, always inviting families to join in - something that has felt incredibly heart warming and inclusive. We are moving to a new area, otherwise we would have loved for her to continue at Purple Bees. We honestly wish we could take this nursery with us! I would highly recommend Purple Bees to any parent looking for a caring, engaging, and supportive environment for their child. It has been a wonderful place for our daughter to spend her day, and we will always be grateful for the start they gave her.

Since my daughter joined I can see a big difference in her socially. She has a big smile on her face going to nursery every morning and I am at ease knowing she is happy and well looked after. Thanks to all the wonderful staff at Purple Bees
