While leaders knew the hires, proper procedures were ignored, putting kids at risk. The report highlights a weak safeguarding culture, despite some safety measures like separating allergy-prone children — though that may make them feel singled out. Behavior issues run rampant: kids are running wild, throwing things, and stealing food due to unclear expectations. Learning is inconsistent, with staff sometimes stepping in too much instead of encouraging independence. On the bright side, staff excel at spotting and reporting concerns and building strong child relationships — parents say kids are happy and thriving. But leadership’s plans aren’t being executed, there’s no robust system to monitor or improve teaching, and professional growth is limited to mandatory training. With 90 children aged one to four, this nursery is now on urgent improvement notice — and everyone’s watching closely.
