A nursery leader has said her team have been on an "amazing journey" after receiving a Good rating in their latest Ofsted inspection.

Abberley House Nursery, in Droitwich Road, Claines, was given the rating this month following a graded Ofsted inspection in June.

Nursery manager Saskia Ellery said: "It has been an amazing journey that we have been on over these past few months.

"There has been a new manager in myself, new members on the team, and the owners have made a great investment into the nursery.

"Spirits have been high here for months, and we were prepared and waiting for this inspection."

Ofsted's latest report highlights the nursery's "good provision", where a challenging curriculum and varied activities mean that "children thrive in the experiences they have, are motivated and demonstrate a positive attitude to their learning."

Furthermore, Ofsted praised the nursery's environment.

The report said: "Staff promote a safe and secure environment for all children. Children are happy and settled and seek comfort and reassurance when they are feeling unsure. This supports children's emotional resilience."

Abberley House Nursery caters for children up to five years of age, and alongside indoor facilities, the centre also features a forest school with outdoor lodge and cabin classrooms on site.

She said: "The centre's owners have been really hands on, and they regularly visit the setting and meet our parents.

"They (the parents) have been amazing too over these last few months.

"In term of support from the team, everyone has so hard worked together and done their best for the nursery."

Ofsted's report states that "management places a huge focus on building well-being and staff morale across the team," and that the nursery's "partnership with parents is good. Parents share positive feedback about the care their children receive."

This latest inspection was prompted by an Inadequate Ofsted rating received following an inspection in February and follow-up visit in March. In its report dated March 22, Ofsted stated that it was satisfied with the action taken by the nursery.

Abberley House Nursery's upcoming open day for new and expectant parents is on Saturday, September 21 from 9am until 12pm.
