JohnBright Future Nursery – which opened during the Covid pandemic – has been praised for its ‘kind and caring’ staff and provides ‘good’ provision for youngsters, Ofsted inspectors have said.
The nursery, off Harehills Lane, has been praised for its quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management in its first-ever Ofsted report.
The report says: “Although the nursery opened after the COVID-19 pandemic, staff are aware of the impact this has had on some children’s personal, social and emotional
development. This is a strong area of the curriculum.
“Staff are good role models for children. They model good manners consistently and provide specific praise to help build children’s self-confidence and resilience.”
Staff provide a balanced and exciting curriculum for children. They focus on
building secure foundations for children’s future learning and prepare them to
move on to school.
The report says the nursery should provide staff with training to help them consistently support children’s communication and language development.
