Happy Days Nursery Cheswick Village, Bristol, is thrilled to announce it has been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ judgement following a recent inspection by Ofsted, the education and care watchdog for England. This is a significant upgrade from their previous judgement of ‘Good’.

The report praises the nursery’s “inspirational managers” who have a “clear vision for their broad and highly ambitious curriculum.” Inspectors were impressed by how this curriculum is “thoroughly understood by staff and is delivered extremely well across the nursery,” ensuring children benefit from a wide range of experiences and learning opportunities.

The report highlights the nurturing environment at Happy Days Nursery Cheswick Village, where children “share strong attachments to their key person” and feel “safe and emotionally secure.”  Inspectors observed children “joining in activities excitedly” and experimenting with learning through play, demonstrating their “exemplary” behaviour and ability to “share fairly, wait their turn and speak to each other respectfully.”

“We are incredibly proud of this achievement,” said Lily Lovegrove, Manager at Happy Days Nursery Cheswick Village. “Our entire team is dedicated to providing the highest quality care and education for our children, and this ‘Outstanding’ judgement is a testament to their hard work and commitment.”

Fiona Blackwell, Operations Director at Happy Days said, “We are committed to providing an exceptional learning environment where every child feels happy, safe, and challenged.  This ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted judgement is a fantastic accomplishment for our entire team, and we look forward to continuing to provide the very best for our children and their families.”

The nursery has a limited number of places available, and parents are encouraged to contact the nursery as soon as possible to secure their place. Contact Lily Lovegrove on 01179 798 953 or email enquiries@happydaysnurseries.com.

Happy Days Nursery in Weston-super-Mare, situated in the heart of Winterstoke Village, is celebrating having recently received a GOOD grading from Ofsted.

Opened in August 2018, the nursery has formed very special relationships with their families and the community they serve.

The Ofsted report highlights that ‘Children are interested and excited to learn in an inviting environment. The curriculum is well designed to provide children with a broad range of experiences. Toddlers thoroughly enjoy sharing books together, gaining good listening and attention skills. Staff engage children well helping them to predict what might happen and to recall what they know about farm animals.’

Furthermore, the report acknowledged that ‘The management team have a good overview of the nursery and strive to improve the quality of the provision, there are regular opportunities for staff to develop their professional skills through training, supervision meetings and professional discussions and there is a well understood and implemented curriculum. This helps children to make good progress in all areas of their learning in readiness to start school.’

Bev, Acting Nursery Manager for Weston-super-Mare stated, “I am extremely proud of the staff team who are dedicated to provide exceptional care and education for children and families within the local community.’’

Fiona Blackwell, Operations Director, stated, “We are extremely proud of Bev and her team who have worked very hard to achieve this outcome. I am delighted that the inspectors recognised that  ‘children behave well and receive effective support from staff to manage their emotions and to understand behavioural expectations and that there is good support for those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities’. This demonstrated the teams commitment to support children to become strong and motivated learners for life ”
