Grandir UK’s Kiddi Caru Day Nursery & Preschool in Peterborough has achieved a Good rating from Ofsted after an inspection in February.

Situated at the heart of the Sugar Way estate, near the city centre, the nursery was praised for developing good relationships between children and staff.

Inspectors said the children "have access to a well resourced nursery with a wide variety of activities, where they can feel safe and secure".

The Ofsted inspector outlines how the nursery provides good opportunities for children to develop their literacy skills and states that “children listen to stories and talk about what is happening in the book".

"Staff ask children questions and link events in the story to real-life experiences. This helps children to make connections and promotes engagement.

"Children are confident and enthusiastic to share their own stories, thoughts and ideas with other children in the group.”

The inspector compliments the nursery staff on implementing robust procedures to support children with allergies and medical conditions.

The report details Kiddi Caru’s colour-coded system that is in place to help identify children with allergies.

In addition, a designated member of staff is assigned to sit next to those children during mealtimes.

This ensures children are protected and not exposed to risks. 

The report comments on the nursery children’s "very good behaviour", using the example “during a music session, children patiently wait their turn to share the musical instruments and props.

"They enthusiastically sing along and join in with repeated refrains and actions. They develop good physical skills as they move their bodies to music.”

Clare Vaughan, nursery manager at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery & Preschool, Peterborough, commented: "Thank you so much to every single staff member for their hard work and dedication to our children and families. I am so proud of team Peterborough and what they continue to achieve."
