Outstanding Ofsted for Pathfinder Day Nursery

Congratulations to the staff at Pathfinders Nursery in Rugby who recently received ‘Outstanding’ judgements across all of the four inspection areas - leadership and management; quality of teaching, learning and assessment; personal development, behaviour and welfare; and outcomes for children.

Ofsted stated:

"The exceptional leaders and managers of the nursery create a well-organised, efficient and successful learning environment. They are highly reflective and strive to provide children with inspiring and meaningful learning experiences. Their uncompromising pursuit for excellence ensures outstanding outcomes for all children."

"The quality of teaching is consistently high. Staff fully understand the learning styles, preferences and abilities of each child. They provide innovative experiences that captivate children's curiosity and individual interests. Staff skilfully adapt and extend activities to challenge children's thinking and enhance their motivation to learn."

"The quality of interactions between staff and children is exceptional. Settling-in arrangements are well considered to ensure that all children quickly build secure relationships with their key person, which promotes their emotional well-being."

"Staff form excellent partnerships with parents. The manager implements a range of highly successful strategies to positively engage with all families and ensure that all parents are fully included in their child's learning. Staff provide detailed and accurate information regarding children's time spent at the nursery and the progress they make."

"Children's behaviour is exemplary. They are highly motivated to join in with activities and show respect for their environment, their peers and staff. Children are well mannered and consider the needs of others. They take turns in play routines and develop strong friendships with each other."
