Nursery group scores 35 per cent outstanding

Nursery group Childbase has now had 14 of its nurseries graded outstanding, following inspections at eight settings awarded the grade so far this year.

This means that 35 per cent of the group's nurseries been given the highest accolade.

Of the eight nurseries, five moved up from good to outstanding, two held on to their outstanding status, and one jumped from a satisfactory to the top grade.

The nursery group has had ten inspections since January, with the other two nurseries moving up from satisfactory to good.

Childbase operations director Lynda Gostelow said, 'With all of these results, the success is down to staff and how well they know the developmental stages of the children in their care.'

She said the group had also carried out bespoke training for settings and had appointed childcare and education experts in each of the three regions.
