A DAY nursery has been praised for its "strong standards" in an Ofsted report.
KiddiCove Day Nursery, located on Tarvin Road, Frodsham, provides childcare on non-domestic premises for children aged 0 to 7, with a total of 58 places available.
Inspectors found that "all children thrive and make excellent progress in their development," with a particular emphasis on independent problem-solving and exploration.
The nursery was commended for its inclusive approach, ensuring that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are considered in all aspects of practice.
The report highlighted the introduction of turn-taking wheels to support children's social skills and the observation of similarities and differences between animals to foster a growing understanding of the world.
The nursery's approach to behaviour, attitudes, and routines was also praised, with inspectors noting that "children are extremely well behaved, show respect to each other, and offer support when needed."
The relationships between staff and children were described as "warm and trusting," with babies who have recently started already extremely settled.
The report also commended the nursery's efforts to promote children's welfare and wellbeing, providing a "warm, safe, and welcoming space where children enjoy their play and learning."
The nursery's curriculum and teaching were also recognised as being of a strong standard, with a well-sequenced and meaningful curriculum that is "highly ambitious and carefully designed to meet the needs of all children."
The report noted that staff "skilfully adapt learning experiences so that progression is appropriate for each child's stage of development."
The nursery's leadership and governance were also praised, with leaders described as "clear and focused on the setting's strengths and areas that may require improvement."
For next steps, inspectors suggest that leaders ensure continued improvement in their successful work to remove barriers for children.
The nursery operates from Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 6pm.
