Staff at a Lichfield nursery are celebrating after achieving an ‘outstanding’ rating from inspectors.
The leadership at the Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool was hailed as “passionate and inspiration” in the Ofsted report.
The inspectors opted to retain the rating the educational centre had been given last time they visited in 2019.
The report praised the learning environment on offer for youngsters, as well as highlighting the communication between staff and parents.
“The manager is a passionate and inspirational leader. She empowers staff to plan and lead the children’s learning within their rooms, while keeping meticulous oversight throughout the nursery.
“If any weaknesses are identified, support plans are swiftly implemented so quick improvements are made.
“The curriculum is ambitious and highly effective at ensuring all children gain the skills required for their eventual move to school. Children make outstanding progress. Support for children with special educational needsor disabilities is amazing.
“Staff are in tune with every child and are dedicated to support children who may need extra help.”
