GOVERNMENT education watchdog, Ofsted has high praised Sunflower Day Nursery in Harlow.

They visited the nursery, based on Broadley Road, in July.

The report states:

Staff have a good knowledge and understanding of how to promote learning and support the welfare and development of young children.

Monitoring ensures that individual children or groups of children who have identified needs are targeted and supported effectively. Children make good progress.

Staff encourage parents to support their children’s learning at home. They also share information about their children’s achievements with their appointed key person.

Relationships between staff provide a good role model for children. This helps them to learn about acceptable behaviour and how to treat others with respect.

Self-evaluation includes the views of parents, staff and children. Actions taken by the manager and staff are helping to improve the quality of provision. The manager sets a clear direction for the setting’s future development.

Children learn about leading healthy lifestyles. They plant and grow fresh vegetables and herbs and enjoy plenty of outdoor learning opportunities.
