Nursery World - Business Development - An outstanding operation

Strong leadership and support for staff have been key for one
'outstanding' nursery.

In the past few years, staff at South & City College Nursery in Birmingham have been on a determined journey to develop the quality and service of the setting, and make it the best it can possibly be. This was duly recognised by Ofsted, when it paid a surprise visit at the end of last year and awarded the nursery outstanding.

Its quality of leadership and the extent to which staff are valued and supported was particularly praised by Ofsted. Manager Liz Beard reports that everyone has worked extremely hard over the past few years, collaborating on a journey of continuous improvement. She believes in giving autonomy to staff, to allow them to take responsibility for education within their units. wmbus-dev-2
