A NURSERY run by Oxford Brookes University has once again been rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.

The Oxford Brookes University Day Nursery was inspected in June 18 and was given the ‘outstanding’ rating in all categories.

In a report released on Thursday inspector Sara Holley said the 81-child nursery provided an outstanding quality of teaching.

She said: “Children’s needs are exceptionally well met by committed staff, who are passionate about what they do. They make accurate assessments about children’s abilities and skills and use this information to plan, with parents, how to extend children’s learning further.

“All children, from the youngest babies to those children soon to start school, clearly see the nursery as ‘their place’.

“Care practices are exemplary and directly contribute to children being so confident and happy.

“The manager fully understands the requirements of the early years foundation stage.

“Staff organise the day to ensure that there is always someone well known to each child to greet them when they arrive and say goodbye when they leave.

“The same applies at mealtimes and during nappy changing times.

“She [the manager] skilfully leads her team to ensure that everyone plays their role in fulfilling these requirements.”

Ms Holley did not set out any ways in which the nursery could improve on its performance.
