Snow business: children at North Cheshire Jewish Nursery enjoy a wintry day

North Cheshire Jewish Nursery has been given a stamp of approval from Ofsted, which has rated it good in all categories.

Staff “have a shared passion for ensuring that children are happy, well cared for and

reach their potential,” the visiting inspector said.

The nursery, which is based at North Cheshire Jewish Primary School, has 55 children on its books.

They “gleefully explore a sensory foam activity in the garden, and staff's response to each child supports their next steps,” Ofsted said. “Children read about The Colour Monster to explore their feelings and hug staff, saying, 'Now you feel loved!’.”

It was “clear children feel safe and secure as they snuggle down at sleep time with their key worker sat by their side”.

The inspection service noted an “ambitious curriculum” and the independence skills which “shine at mealtimes. According to their age, children help to set the table, pour their own drinks, put on their kippah and find their name on a place mat.

“Children wait patiently for their friends to serve themselves before praying together and enjoying a healthy meal.”
