The decision about the nursery or pre-school you decide to send your child to is an important one. It will be a decision that is perhaps based on what other parents say or think, what Ofsted say about the particular setting or about your own sense of what it is like when you visit.

We provide questionnaires for all our parents and children every year – please see below a selection of comments from our most recent feedback (May 2017).

What the parents think...

"Bertie's has a very welcoming atmosphere, greeting every child (and adult) as entering"  

“I really appreciated the opportunity to stay with (name of child) and settle him gently...It worked really well for us and wasn't something that was possible at his former nursery"

“I feel that you really listen to the children in your care and that you make a huge effort to follow their interests. The activities you do are varied and lots of fun!”

“I like that Bertie's is such a friendly and welcoming setting that offers opportunities for the children to grow and learn”

"Like the outdoor mud kitchen and the freeness children have to go in or out"

“I think it's wonderful that the atmosphere and nurturing at Bertie's has remained the same. (Name of child) thoroughly enjoyed Bertie's some 5 years ago and now (name of child) is doing the same. Testament to the wonderful staff and organisation at Bertie's. Big thanks to you all!"”

What the children think...

“I really like gluing and painting but I really like everything”

“I like playing with friends, making things and playing in the sandpit”

“I like playing with my friends and going outside and I like feeding the fish”

"I like everything at Bertie's!"

What Ofsted think...

"Staff establish extremely positive partnerships with parents and keep them exceptionally well informed " Ofsted, 2017

“Staff maintain overwhelmingly secure and trusting relationships with children. This helps keep children enthused in their fascinating play experiences” Ofsted, 2017

“Children are extremely confident and develop exceptionally positive levels of well-being” Ofsted, 2017

“The manager and staff use extremely effective ways to monitor children's development. This helps them to highlight any gaps in progress exceptionally fast and provide children with support to rapidly cath up and exceed their individual learning expectations” Ofsted, 2017

"Staff are inspirational role models and children behave impeccably and are exceptionally polite" Ofsted, 2017
