Muddy Boots Wilberfoss Ofsted: Strong Standard
We’re proud to announce that Muddy Boots Wilberfoss received Strong Standard gradings across all seven areas following their most recent Ofsted inspection!
Under the new Ofsted grading system, Strong Standard ‘marks out excellent, consistent work that’s making a real difference for children and learners’.
The team at Wilberfoss showed the inspector what a day at nursery is like for the children at Muddy Boots, and these results are a fantastic reflection of all the hard work, dedication and care our staff give every single day.
To celebrate, we’re sharing some of the fantastic things said about our Morley setting during the Ofsted inspection.
"Children benefit from secure relationships with staff and extremely well-planned transition arrangements… As a result, children settle quickly and develop into confident, emotionally secure learners within the nursery and beyond."
“Leaders ensure that children are at the heart of all decisions. They rigorously review their practice and procedures to ensure it supports a children's overall development.”
“Leaders ensure that provision is suited for each child's stage of learning. Through effective teaching the curriculum is taught and enhanced to meet the needs of all learners.”
At Muddy Boots, children and families are at the heart of what we do. Our key-person system, focus weeks, and child-led learning approach ensures every child gets the care they need in order to develop and thrive. From settling-in to getting ready for school, you and your little one are supported by our amazing teams!
"Leaders have embedded a truly harmonious and respectful culture within the setting. This is portrayed by all staff and children. Staff build positive relationships with the children. Staff consistently model kind interactions with children and colleagues.”
“Regular supervision meetings provide opportunities to discuss both personal well-being and workplace challenges. This helps staff feel listened to and supported. As a result, staff morale is high, and there is a commitment to achieving the best outcomes for children.”
We strongly believe that happy teams create exceptional nurseries, and that the quality of relationships within our teams directly shapes the experiences families receive. Our teams support each other to create a positive learning environment for the children and themselves. We could not be prouder of our team, working hard every day to provide the best possible experience for your family.
The next steps for Wilberfoss are to ensure that these high standards are sustained to continue supporting children and families as they progress in their learning and development.
A huge congratulations is in order for all the staff at Wilberfoss; thank you for all your hard work and dedication, we wouldn’t be Muddy Boots without you!
Thank you to all our parents for their continued support and to those who shared feedback with the inspector on the day.
