A HARLOW nursery has received an outstanding report by government inspectors Ofsted.

Kindred Harlow is based within the Harlow Leisurezone on Second Avenue in Harlow.

The report states:

Children thrive in this stimulating nursery. They are exceptionally curious learners both inside and outside, clearly enjoying every moment of their day. Children’s imagination is skilfully utilised and enhanced by the excellent attention staff give to planning opportunities that inspire children to think and share their ideas. Children apply their ideas in different contexts.

While playing outside, they decide to race each other or see who can pull themselves up by the rope, to be the first to the top of the climbing frame. Competition is friendly and children have fun. Everyone looks out for each other.

Children explore the world around them as they learn to think and act for themselves. For example, they carefully delve through soil and bark to identify the creatures underneath. Children explore the scents and textures of a variety of herbs as they add chives, rosemary and mint to their play dough. While in the outdoor kitchen, they use real ingredients such as carrots, cornflakes, raisins and flowers to add to their recipes and potions.

Children learn to count, draw and measure. They are learning to solve problems, reason and explain their thinking. Children are extremely thoughtful and well behaved. They invite others to join in their games and welcome children back, with real affection, after their nap.

Staff’s high expectations have ensured that the nursery has continued to develop through the COVID-19 pandemic as they have maintained purposeful communication with children and their families.
