The team at Kids Planet Southfield in Cramlington are delighted to have been awarded ‘Ofsted Outstanding’ in all areas following their recent inspection!

The Ofsted Outstanding Report revealed how ‘Children display high levels of confidence and self-esteem. They demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in the staff’s care. For example, pre-school children are very confident to approach visitors and show them what they can do’.

It also reported that ‘Children listen intently and respond well. Staff sit at children’s level and encourage them to be active and engage in their play. They listen to children and ask open questions. This helps all children to feel valued and important.’

Lizzie Dickson, Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Southfield, said:

“I am immensely proud of our Ofsted report and everything we have achieved over the last 12 months. Our nursery is truly a second home, made up of our amazing families and the team that work here. The staff are dedicated to providing the very best care and education and we are delighted that this has been recognised.”

Kids Planet Southfield is committed to reflecting on what can be improved at the nursery, adapting where necessary. The nursery recently put up a teepee in the garden to accommodate pre-school children as the nursery expands, has added in low-level sinks and new doors to some rooms to make sure children have easy access, and provide engaging activities reflective of each child’s needs and interests – including yoga and exploring a range of literacy and stories.

Well done everyone!
