Sandbach nursery with 'indequate' Ofsted rating vows to come back stronger than before
A Sandbach nursery which received an "indequate" Ofsted report has vowed to put right any areas of improvement identified in the report.
Partou Kids Corner Day Nursery & Pre-School in Congleton Road received an inadequate Ofsted report which was published recently here.
The nursery, which employs 28 members of childcare staff, was previously rated 'good. In the latest inspection, it was rated inadequate in the four areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management.
The Ofsted report said: "The provider has not ensured that the nursery's safeguarding policy and procedures are clearly understood and implemented effectively to keep children adequately protected from potential harm.
"The provider has not made certain that staff report allegations against staff and understand the importance of doing so without delay so that children's safety can be fully assured.
"Additionally, poor staffing arrangements at the nursery mean that children's individual needs and well-being are not met. At times, staff do not recognise when children are upset and need support or reassurance.
"Some staff working with younger children get to know them well, but this is not consistent across the nursery. Too often, children are not supported by the staff who know them best. "
The report also said: "Children are beginning to understand some of the rules and boundaries of the nursery. They listen carefully when staff speak and follow their instructions.
"Children help to tidy up and know they need to form a line when going out to the garden. They are learning about staff's expectations for positive behaviour."
A spokesperson for Partou Kids Corner Day Nursery & Pre-School said:"The Ofsted inspection identified several areas for improvement. We are fully engaged in addressing these shortfalls and restoring the quality of our provision.
"As part of our response, the Nursery Manager has left the role, and our Area Manager is overseeing the nursery. She is being supported by a management team who are implementing the prepared action plan without delay.
"We are grateful for the patience and understanding of our families as we work through these challenges. As an organisation, we take our responsibility as caregivers very seriously.
"The team is dedicated to restoring the quality of our provision to its previous 'Good' rating, and ensuring a positive and nurturing environment for all the children in our care."
