Excellent Ofsted Inspection at Nursery

The Yesodei HaTorah Nursery (formerly Jewish Day School) in Manchester, recently underwent a successful Ofsted inspection.

The Nursery, which is now grant-maintained, has been established for over 35 years. The building has lately been extended as well as completely refurbished with the most up to date educational facilities available.

This is noted in the report which states that the quality of both the indoor and outdoor accommodation is of a very high standard and "the effect of this environment enhances and improves opportunities for the children to make progress."

All aspects of the Nursery were inspected with very positive and commendable results. The report states that the nursery promotes desirable outcomes in all areas of educational provision and praises the staff for their quality of teaching, planning and assessment, and working together as a team.

"The children follow the timetable for structured teaching and staff encourage the children to think. Staff know and understand the individual children very well so that individual needs are met."

Great emphasis is placed on encouraging middos tovos.This did not go unnoticed by the Inspectors as the report on personal and social development states "the staff have high expectations of the childrens behavior and the children are well-behaved and respectful of adults and each other. When two children accidentally bumped into each other they smiled to acknowledge this was an accident. The children work well together and share. A child without fruit is immediately offered some by another."

The nursery "has good provision for children with special educational needs."

Not surprisingly the Inspectors comment that "an effective part of the childrens accomplishments are due to the excellent partnership between parents and the nursery staff."

Credit goes to Mrs. Horn, the devoted matron and her staff for this admirable report which is an outstanding achievement.
