Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool in Hengrove celebrates 'Good' rating from Ofsted
This fantastic achievement is a testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of the nursery team.
The recent report praised many key aspects of the setting which scored Good across all four of Ofsted’s key categories, Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development and Leadership and Management
“Children are happy at the setting. They explore the activities on offer with excitement and familiarity”
Children’s communication, language and vocabulary are well-supported as they enjoy singing songs and nursery rhymes. They confidently request their favourites and enthusiastically join in with performing the actions and dancing. The nursery team helps foster a love of reading by sharing stories with children in small groups.


Physical activity is encouraged throughout as babies happily shuffle and crawl to the indoor sandpit whilst older children run, jump and balance on the outdoor equipment. Children exercise their co-ordination and sensory awareness by digging in the mud and planting seeds.
“Leaders and staff have designed a clear and ambitious curriculum, with children’s development at its centre”
Right from the start of their Early Years journey, children feel the benefits of these teachings. In the Baby Room, the team’s focus is on building warm, secure relationships to ensure all babies feel safe and cared for. Independence and simple self-care tasks are promoted in the toddler room to help encourage them to do things for themselves. Children are well-supported to develop age-appropriate skills as they grow.
“Children form close bonds with their key person, which supports their emotional security”
The key person system is well-established at the nursery. The strong partnerships formed between children and their key worker help to provide trust, emotional security and aid in their development. When children wake from sleep for example, they confidently seek reassurance from their key person to help them settle and reengage with the day.
“Parents know who their child's key person is and value the regular communication they receive”
Families enjoy daily face-to-face conversations with their child’s key person and receive insights into their child’s day via the online app. A fortnightly bulletin is also circulated. Families feel well-informed about their child’s learning and development and appreciate the regular communication with the nursery team, saying it helps them feel involved, share concerns and support progress at home.
